From August 25 to August 28, 2025, the Autism Society of America team participated in a conference that featured a keynote presentation on Kevin & Avonte's Law, delivered to an audience of approximately 100 attendees. Following the keynote, a panel discussion was held focusing on wandering and related safety concerns. During the conference, the TTA team also provided first responder training and resources to approximately 60 attendees. This training emphasized wandering and drowning prevention awareness and strategies, as well as promising practices for Autism-informed de-escalation during field interactions. Additionally, participants received information on locative technology to enhance safety and response efforts. Further details about the presentation, panel discussion, and training content are available upon request.
