EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE FOR PARTICIPATION AND INCLUSION
This is the 3rd Annual Conference organised by the Queens University Autism Research and Treatment (QUART) Forum, part of the Centre for Behaviour Analysis at QUB. Following the very successful format of previous years this is an all-day conference with a difference.
Setting local experience and expertise into international context, this conference is truly participatory, evidence-based, and person-centred. International keynote speakers will demonstrate how behaviour interventions can be utilized to enhance participation and inclusion through effective methods.
