We are proud to announce Connie Persike as our Saturday Keynote Speaker for our 37th Annual Statewide Autism Conference!
In her engaging and reflective presentation, "Understanding Behavior, Building Unity" she will offer opportunities to examine our own triggers, stressors, and the behaviors we tend to show when each protective pathway becomes the dominant driver. Understanding our own patterns builds compassion not only for the children we support, but also for ourselves and one another. This keynote helps participants reframe behavior as a universal stress response. They’ll explore how stress can make protective pathways like fight, flight, or freeze become the primary pathway guiding behavior, and how these patterns show up differently across people.
Unity grows when every role, family, school, and community, works from this shared understanding.
