We are pleased to announce the EARLY-ASD Conference, co-organized by Maria Grzegorzewska University (APS) and the University of Warsaw (UW). This international event brings together researchers, educators, preservice teachers, in-service teachers, students,
practitioners, parents, NGOs, policymakers, and social and medical professionals to share knowledge and explore innovative approaches to supporting young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through early intervention, inclusive practices, and digital social stories.
The conference builds on the EARLY-ASD project, an Erasmus+ initiative focused on upskilling preservice and early-career teachers to work effectively with children aged 3–7 with ASD. By combining expertise from education research, psychology, and educational
technology, EARLY-ASD develops practical, evidence-based tools and resources to enhance inclusive education and foster the social-emotional development of children on the spectrum.
The conference also provides a platform for sharing and disseminating best practices in teacher education and professional development.
