Is there an autism conference, workshop, or training happening in or near New York City from 8/15 to 8/29?

Question

I'm looking for one any time during the last 2 weeks of Aug. The conference can be related to autism or special education, and preferably within an hour drive of NYC.

Answer 1

Here's one for you that I found.  I'm not familiar with the area though, so I'm not sure how far away it is.  

Autism Symposium at Cornell University

(August 18th - August 19th)

This two-day symposium offers parents, caregivers, and educators a map of programs, services, and support available to individuals with autism in Central New York.
