Description

This workshop is eligible for Tiered Pricing. See More Information below for details.

Omega Institute is proud to present this gathering of some of the nation’s most innovative voices in the autism community to explore the latest approaches to diagnosing, treating, and living with autism.

This autism conference is for family members of people with autism, professionals, educators, therapists, and others who provide support for individuals with autism. You learn about a variety of innovative approaches to education, care, and therapy, and about potential environmental effects on the overall well-being of those with autism.

Given the dramatic rise in the number of people diagnosed with autism in the past decade (estimated at 1 in 88 American children), this autism conference offers a timely, insightful, and far-reaching investigation into the lifelong effects of autism.

The Center for Discovery has been systematically gathering a large corpus of data during the past several years in its unique and innovative research program supported by researchers from Harvard Medical School, Georgia Institute of Technology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Northeastern University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of North Carolina. During this autism conference, you hear directly from three of these well-regarded researchers—Martha Herbert, Theresa Hamlin, and John J. Ratey—and have opportunities for question-and-answer sessions and group discussions on this important topic.

Tiered Pricing

At Omega, we believe that the benefits of a holistic education should be available to everyone. We also recognize that what is affordable for some will not be for all. We are now offering Tiered Pricing* on select programs to help meet the varying financial needs of our community.

On programs where Tiered Pricing is available, select the price that is appropriate for you. This program works on an honor system. Keep in mind that the highest price reflects the cost of the workshop and allows Omega to sustain itself, whereas the lower prices cover only a portion of those costs.

Tier 1:$365 (Register as you normally would for this pricing.) This is the true cost of your workshop. Choosing this price helps Omega continue to retain world-class teachers and sustain classroom facilities.

Tier 2:$295 (Enter TIER 2 in the Promotional Code Box when you register.) This is our partially subsidized price for those with temporary or minor financial need.

Tier 3:$215 (Enter TIER 3 in the Promotional Code Box when you register.) This is our heavily subsidized price for those in need of deeper financial assistance.

*Tiered Pricing is subject to change and cannot be combined with other discounts.
