"Current directions in Autism Research"
The Marguerite-Marie Delacroix conferences on autism are unique opportunities to bring together Belgian researchers who work on autism or related conditions, along with prestigious international keynote speakers from different fields of autism research. The first two days of the conference are dedicated to in-depth and trans-disciplinary discussions of latest empirical results and theoretical orientations. The third day of the conference is aimed at a broader audience of professionals, care-givers and autistic individuals and consists in more accessible lectures by the international keynote speakers.
