Skirboll Conference

Formerly known as the Skirboll Family Autism Conference, this name change reflects the priority to address the needs and concerns of the broader intellectual and developmental disability community. This free 3-day interactive conference offers information sessions and panel presentations from experts on a variety of topics related to intellectual and developmental disabilities. It is developed in collaboration with individuals with disabilities, families, medical providers, agency representatives, and community members.

The Skirboll Autism and Intellectual and Developmental (IDD) Conference is hosted by the Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities and is made possible with additional support from the Skirboll Family Foundation and the Rochester Regional Center for Autism Spectrum Disorder (RRCASD).
