Event Details
Bellevue College’s Neurodiversity Navigators program and the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network is excited to bring you the 5th Annual Autistics Present Symposium!
This year, the Symposium will focus on Research & Best Practices in two tracks:
- Alternatives to ABA
- Communication & Socializing
Not only are our speakers autistic, but the entire conference is brought to you by autistic organizers. This one-of-a-kind autism conference is well-known for providing useful, up-to-date information in an accessible environment. If you haven’t been before, grab a friend or colleague and join us!
When: Friday, October 22, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. PDT (virtually)
Who Should Attend: Anyone interested in learning more about autism and living and growing as an autistic person! Professionals – educators, executives, medical professionals, mental health counselors, and more – will gain invaluable insight into what autistic researchers* think you need to know – from a social justice perspective. Parents and guardians will acquire timely and pragmatic information for raising their autistic children to be strong, self-confident, successful individuals. Autistic people will find community, acceptance, and understanding of their value in a world that often misunderstands them.
Where: Virtually (registration limited to 300 participants)
What: All autistic speakers who have *researched their presentation subject. We are especially wishing to lift the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
Fee: Free
Location: Virtual via Attendify (registration coming soon!)
Check event FACEBOOK page for updates
Accessibility: If you require accommodation to participate in the conference, you will be able to note your needs on the registration form. If you would like to discuss your access needs, please email Sara Gardner at sara.gardner@bellevuecollege.edu or phone at 425.564.2172. Some accommodations may take several weeks to arrange, so please make your request as early as possible. We may need up to four weeks notice for some accommodations.
*Researchers: We welcome all autistic researchers to submit workshop proposals to the symposium. While we absolutely welcome “traditional” researchers, we also recognize the barriers to access to traditional research spaces for many of our population, and we welcome all autistic people who have researched their workshop topic, including in unconventional ways. For more information see Call for Proposals Page.
FAQs
(For questions from potential presenters see Call for Proposals Page.)
Is the conference really free to attend? Yes, it is! Thanks in part to generous donors and also the reduced cost of a virtual conference, we are able to extend registration to more people this year than ever. We can’t wait to see you!
Will workshops be captioned? Yes, workshops will be auto-captioned, by a service which we have found is at least as accurate as communication access real-time translation (CART).
I would like to discuss a concern, who do I talk to? You can send us an email at asn@bellevuecollege.edu and we will route it to the best person to answer your concern. Or, if you need to speak to someone right away, you can phone Sara Gardner at 425.564.2172. Or email! sara.gardner@bellevuecollege.edu

We are currently planning to hold the 2021 NWRPCA/CHAMPS Fall Primary Care Conference in-person and are looking forward to seeing you in Seattle, WA this autumn! This will be a traditional – slightly scaled-back – in-person event, with plenty of opportunities to reconnect with peers and colleagues. We’re optimistic about the upcoming year; however, we are prepared should we need to transition to a virtual event.
This conference will provide the education and training, information and resource sharing, coalition building, and program and policy development it’s known for, and we are excited to connect in person once again. Sessions designed for community health professionals will be broken into these seven tracks:
Clinical & Care Innovations
Fiscal Optimization
Fundamentals of Board Governance/Leadership
Healthy Communities
Operational Excellence
Workforce & HR Optimization
Hot Topics

EVENT DETAILS
Experts from the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Autism Center provide the Autism Center of Excellence (COE) trainings through a contract with the Health Care Authority (HCA).
Purpose of the COE Training
- To increase the number of qualified clinicians (COEs) across Washington State who can appropriately diagnose children and youth with autism
- Help children and families access needed services as appropriate, including writing a Medicaid/Apple Health prescription for Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). COE required for Managed Care Organization (MCO) prescription approval.
Who is Eligible to Become a COE
- The HCA determines which primary care and other clinicians can become COEs. Currently the list includes medical physicians working in primary care, specialty physicians, clinical psychologists, ARNPs and pediatric naturopaths.
- As of Oct 17, 2019 , an autism diagnosis from a COE provider (except for naturopath physicians) can also be used by a family for Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) eligibility.
What the Online Training Covers
- Evaluation and diagnosis of children exhibiting signs and symptoms of autism spectrum disorder and determining which evidence –based treatments, including ABA, are likely to be helpful for individual children
- Community and state resources for children and youth with autism and their families
- How to write an approved prescription for ABA treatment
- Billing
- Paperwork and process to complete to become a HCA recognized COE after the training
Who is the Training for?
The target audience for the COE certification training are those primary care clinicians eligible to become COEs. Additionally, clinical and community partners partnering with COES in the evaluation and connection of children and youth and their families to service are welcome to attend. More information about the COE training.
