On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Illinois Chapter, American Academy of
Pediatrics (ICAAP), we invite you to participate in the 2015 Autism, Behavior, and Complex
Medical Needs (ABC) Conference: A Trauma-Informed, Interprofessional Approach to
Caring for Children with Special Needs on Friday, May 15, 2015 at the Regency Conference
Center in O’Fallon, IL.
This event is sponsored by the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians (IAFP), ICAAP, and The
Autism Program of Illinois (TAP).
The ABC Conference was originally established in 2010 for pediatricians and pediatric
primary care providers interested in learning more about providing health care to children
with special needs. For the first time in 2014 the conference focus was expanded to bring
together additional providers from primary care, specialty care, nursing, allied health fields,
home visiting, child care and early education, Early Intervention, special education, and
other fields. Participants learned about the broad landscape of services and programs that
are available to support children with special needs from birth through childhood, and
developed skills to make effective referrals and partner with other agencies and systems.
While this year will mark the 6th Annual ABC Conference in Northern Illinois (November 20,
2015), ICAAP is excited to host our FIRST ABC South conference in 2015 after much demand
by various stakeholders, including direct service providers, and we invite you to consider
exhibiting.
Approximately 150 physicians, allied health professionals and community service providers
are expected to be in attendance to hear from local and national experts on traumainformed practices and special needs children’s health. Attendees will include providers
representing hospitals, universities, community health centers, and private practices. All
attendees will take valuable information back to use in their own organizations/practices.
Your support as an exhibitor is critical to creating opportunities for attendees to learn about
the products and services available for children with special needs, and for supporting ICAAP
in offering a professional, high-quality event with excellent presenters.
We hope to see you on May 15, 2015!
Sincerely,
Scott G. Allen, MS, PCMH CCE, Executive Director
Illinois Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics
