2025 Theme: Equity in Action
Â
This year’s summit is centred around Equity - the idea that inclusion isn’t about treating everyone the same, but about recognising what each individual needs to thrive.
Across the three days of the summit, we’ll be asking:
Â
-
What does REAL inclusion look like in families, schools, and services?
-
How can we create environments where PDA individuals are TRULY supported and understood?
-
What does EQUITY mean for PDA families navigating systems that weren’t built for them?
-
How does this GAP affect Autistic and PDA adults seeking dignity, autonomy, and safety?
-
How can educators and professionals LEAD change within systems that currently exclude or misunderstand PDA?
Our Speakers and their Message
All our speakers bring unique values to the summit and their own message. Some have a mix of personal lived and professional experience.
We will be updating this page regularly.
