AARM 2024

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental conditions that impact how individuals perceive and interact with the world, influencing their social interactions and communication skills. This has drawn significant scientific interest, focusing on understanding the behaviors and cognitive functions associated with ASD and their effects on daily life quality. ASD often coexists with other physical and mental health conditions, complicating the clinical picture. For instance, young children with ASD may experience delays in motor skills development and have issues with coordination and balance. Alarmingly, the incidence of autism diagnoses is on the rise, intensifying this pressing social issue.

In response to these challenges and to foster greater awareness the Greek Society for the Protection of Autistic Persons (GSPAP), the Hellenic Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, the Culture, Sports and Youth Organization of the City of Athens (OPANDA) and Funogen, are collaborating to host the 1st International Conference on Autism Advanced Research and Management in Athens. This event will spotlight cutting-edge research on the causes and biological mechanisms of ASD, explore modern management technologies, and promote the social inclusion and collaboration of individuals with autism. The conference is a key initiative under the Greek Society for the Protection of Autistic Persons - Funogen's #connectmetoo: Together in Synergy for Autism movement, which aims to enhance societal awareness of autism.

We are pleased to announced that the distinguished Professor Mohammad Amjad Kamal will address a formal greeting at the opening of the conference! Prof. Mohammad Amjad Kamal is a Visiting Professor at various universities around the globe. He leads a highly productive global collaborative research team at Novel Global Community Educational Foundation (NGCEF), Australia.
