Not Your Average Autism Conference

Welcome to AHA 2027

Autism Hope, Health & Abilities National Conference

Where Hope Meets Science. Where Families Find Answers.

The Autism Hope, Health & Abilities (AHA) National Conference is returning to Orlando on July 15–16, 2027, bringing together leading physicians, healthcare professionals, educators, therapists, advocates, caregivers, and organizations from across the country.

Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis, planning for adulthood, searching for evidence-based medical information, or looking for practical resources that can improve everyday life, AHA was created with you in mind.

More than a conference, AHA is a place where families and professionals learn together. Every session is designed to provide actionable knowledge you can take home and immediately apply while building meaningful connections with experts and others walking a similar journey.

Attendees can expect nationally recognized speakers, current medical research, practical educational sessions, valuable community resources, and opportunities to explore topics that impact every stage of life—from childhood through adulthood.

As speaker announcements are released throughout the year, you'll discover an exceptional lineup covering autism health, medical care, therapies, education, transition planning, advocacy, independent living, caregiver support, and much more.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, physician, therapist, educator, or self-advocate, you'll leave inspired, equipped, and connected.

Join us as we continue building a future filled with hope, health, and possibilities for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.
