What is Bridging the Gap Conference?Bridging the Gap is an interdisciplinary conference which aims to present updates on innovations and trends in knowledge on autism to health and allied health professionals, educators and students, persons in civil service, parent advocates and other concerned organizations.
It is hosted by the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health in partnership with University of California Davis Mind Institute and made possible by a grant from the Philippine-California Advanced Research Institutes of the Commission on Higher Education. This conference is meant for intermediate to advance-level professionals who work with individuals with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders. Being a CHED-funded project, it aims to work with academic institutions training and teaching graduate and post-graduate students and fellows who have been working in the fields of neurodevelopmental disorders, involve professional societies and patient advocacy groups and members who can become trainers and leaders in their communities and conduct research, and involve other government organization stakeholders who can influence policy and practice. The conference grants 8.5 CPD Credit Units for Medicine. Currently, the conference team is still applying for CPD units for various occupations such as teachers, physical/occupational therapists, and other allied professions.
