This Pediatric Screening & Training event is two-fold: The first two days are aimed at pediatric screening of children with disabilities and hands-on training of Joni’s House staff. The second two days are training of church leaders to promote churches being an accessible place for families living with autism.

Main sessions and workshops will build on a foundational understanding that all people, regardless of disability, are made in the image of God. Sessions will provide practical tools for churches to establish a place of belonging for autistic people of all ages.

Experts from the U.S. and Central and South America will partner to provide a robust conference for church leaders in Central America.
