This two day event will take place at the FNB Conference Centre in Sandton and marks Attwood’s first visit to South Africa.
Later in the week on 20 January, Attwood will deliver a Master Class for health and education professionals who see children and/or adolescents with Asperger’s syndrome as part of their practice, including Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, GPs, Paediatric Psychiatrists and Paediatricians.

The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome, as published in October 2006, is one of the primary textbooks on the topic.
