Child abuse can be difficult to recognize in children with neurodivergent diagnoses and developmental delays, increasing the need for informed, coordinated responses across systems. Through expert-led presentations and multidisciplinary discussion, participants will examine the unique challenges facing neurodivergent children and families while gaining practical strategies to strengthen safety, support, and collaboration across disciplines.

Join mental health, behavioral health, public health, law enforcement, and education professionals at the 2027 Child Abuse Prevention Symposium to explore current issues, best practices, and emerging approaches to prevention, identification, and intervention. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with regional experts and colleagues committed to improving outcomes for vulnerable children.
