Join the Capital Area Autism Network (CAAN) for our inaugural annual conference on October 1, 2026, as we bring together families, service providers, business leaders, and community stakeholders to shape the future of autism and neurodiversity support in Greater Baton Rouge. With CDC estimates indicating 1 in 31 children are diagnosed with autism, the need for coordinated community support has never been greater.

This landmark conference will feature the release of CAAN's comprehensive annual report, expert speakers, interactive sessions on education and employment, and valuable networking opportunities. Sessions will focus on addressing the four pillars that contribute to the Silo Tax: Integrated Healthcare, Synchronized Education, Inclusive Housing, and Workforce Integration.
