The Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorder Alliance (CASDA) is a coalition of Canada's

autism leaders, organizations and autistic individuals advocating for a National Autism

Strategy. We represent the interests of approximately 500,000 autistic Canadians, their

families and service providers. We are committed to ensuring the implementation of a

National Autism Strategy that addresses critical gaps in funding and policies.

The Canadian Autism Leadership Summit (CALS) is one of

CASDA's key annual initiatives. People with autism, leaders

in autism community and politicians from all parties

discuss and develop policies and strategies that benefit

people on the autism spectrum. In a very short time, past

notable achievements include creating the Canadian

Autism Partnership and implementing Ready, Willing and

Able National Employment Program.

Key to the 2019 Summit was our Blueprint for a National

Autism Strategy, which provided a guide for the federal

government on how to enact a Strategy. Summit attendees

heard engaging presentations led by sector leaders

addressing the most pressing issues facing autistic

Canadians and their families/carers. Panels included

autistic adults discussing their experiences and

demanding Nothing About Us, Without Us and Indigenous

leaders speaking to the realities of autism in Canada's First

Nations communities.

WHY SUPPORT

2020 SUMMIT ?

The Summit has a proven track record. In addition to the aforementioned successes of Canadian

Autism Partnership, Ready, Willing and Able, and the National Strategy, the Summit yielded

important work in giving a venue to hear the voices of self-advocates, those in rural or remote

areas of Canada and especially to hear the voices of those in the First Nations communities

whose plight is unimaginably difficult.

In the Summit 2019 evaluation survey, 87% would attend again and 90% would recommend the

event to others. "The Summit does a fantastic job of informing stakeholders of changes in

research, practice, policy, etc. Great networking opportunity - especially love the national stage.

Very action oriented attendees." - 2019 attendee

An estimated 1 in 66 Canadians aged 5-17 have autism. It is the most common and fastest-

growing neurological condition. Your organization can play a part in supporting a solution-

oriented event that provides a national vehicle for information sharing, networking and advocacy.

A nominal registration fee is charged to ensures wide participation and is the reason financialsupport is necessary to hold this important event.

Supporting the Summit not only allows you to be part of facilitating this vital exchange, but also

grants another level of exposure for your organization to Summit attendees. In addition, your

support provides the unique opportunity to show your support for a National Autism Strategy.
