Preschool Autism Summit

Why Thousands of Educators Are Grabbing a Free Ticket to the Preschool Autism Summit

If you support young autistic children, you know how hard it can be to find training that feels practical, respectful, and realistic for the classroom.

• You want strategies that actually work.
• You want ideas you can use on Monday morning.
• And you want professional learning that honors autistic children for who they are.

That's exactly why we created the Preschool Autism Summit.

From July 12–15, 2026, educators, therapists, paraprofessionals, administrators, and caregivers from around the world will come together for four days of learning, connection, and encouragement—all from the comfort of home. And the best part?

The free ticket is truly free.

What Is the Preschool Autism Summit?

The Preschool Autism Summit is a virtual training event focused on supporting preschool and early elementary autistic learners through neurodiversity-affirming practices.

Over four days, you'll hear from leading voices in autism education, communication, AAC, sensory support, play, regulation, and inclusive teaching practices.

Each day brings fresh presentations designed specifically for the early childhood years.

Whether you work in a preschool classroom, special education setting, therapy room, childcare center, or support children at home, you'll walk away with ideas you can immediately put into practice.

The summit is hosted by Autism Little Learners and has become a favorite professional development event for educators looking for compassionate, evidence-informed strategies that prioritize connection over compliance.

What Do You Get With the Free Ticket?

When you register for a free ticket, you'll receive access to each day's presentations as they are released during the summit.

Every morning, new sessions become available inside the Summit Hub, where you can watch the presentations and learn from experts who understand the realities of supporting autistic children in early childhood settings.

Your free ticket includes:

• Access to daily summit presentations
• Practical strategies you can use right away
• A wide variety of perspectives from educators, therapists, advocates, and autistic voices
• The ability to learn from home, school, or wherever you are
• A supportive community of professionals who care deeply about autistic children

The summit was intentionally designed to make professional learning accessible, which is why the free ticket gives educators an opportunity to learn without the expense and travel requirements of traditional conferences.

Why Educators Love Virtual Summits

Let's be honest. Most educators don't have extra days to travel across the country for professional development. Between classroom preparation, IEP meetings, family responsibilities, therapy schedules, and everything else on your plate, finding time for yourself can feel impossible.

The Preschool Autism Summit allows you to learn where you are.

• Watch before school.
• Listen during your lunch break.
• Take notes after the kids are in bed.

The learning fits into your life instead of requiring you to rearrange your life around it.

Topics That Matter Right Now

One of the things attendees love most about the summit is that the sessions focus on the challenges educators are facing right now.

You'll hear conversations about:

• AAC and communication supports
• Neurodiversity-affirming practices
• Play-based learning
• Regulation and sensory support
• Inclusive classroom strategies
• Building authentic relationships
• Supporting multilingual learners
• Strength-based approaches to teaching autistic children

These aren't theoretical conversations.

They're practical discussions designed to help you create more supportive, responsive learning environments.

Learning That Leaves You Feeling Hopeful

Professional development should not leave you feeling like you're doing everything wrong.

It should leave you feeling equipped.

Encouraged.

Inspired.

And ready to try something new.

That is what makes the Preschool Autism Summit different.

The goal isn't perfection.

The goal is helping educators build on what they're already doing well while discovering new ways to support communication, connection, regulation, and participation.

Small changes can create meaningful ripple effects for the children we serve.
