This is not a general education conference. This is 25,000 decision-makers in one room, and they're all here for the same reason: supporting autistic children.
The Audience

Your Audience, Already Assembled

Four distinct professional and family segments, all gathered because they care deeply about supporting autistic children.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs)

The largest segment. Mid-career, Master's-level clinicians who recommend AAC devices, therapy tools, books, and resources to families every single day. They're the ones writing evaluations, running sessions, and programming communication devices.

Occupational Therapists (OTs)

Sensory integration specialists who select and recommend sensory tools, weighted products, therapeutic equipment, and regulation strategies. They influence what families buy for home and what schools purchase for classrooms.

Special Educators and School Teams

Teachers, paraprofessionals, BCBAs, school psychologists, and related service providers. They make purchasing decisions for classrooms, sensory rooms, and school-wide programs.

Parents and Families

Parents and caregivers of autistic children who are actively researching and purchasing tools, toys, clothing, books, apps, and resources for their kids. They're here because a professional they trust told them about the summit.

Every attendee is either a professional who recommends products to families, or a family member actively purchasing for their autistic child. There is no more efficient way to reach this audience.
The Case for Sponsorship

Why Brands Choose
The Child-Led Autism Summit

01

Hyper-Targeted Audience

This isn't 25,000 random educators. Every single registrant works with or parents autistic children. Your product reaches the exact people who need it.

02

Trust-Based Environment

Attendees chose this summit because they trust the founder and the speakers. When a product appears inside this event, it carries that trust. It's an endorsement, not an ad.

03

Professional Recommenders

SLPs and OTs don't just buy for themselves. They recommend products to every family on their caseload. One attendee can mean dozens of downstream customers.

04

Multi-Day Engagement

This is not a one-hour webinar. Attendees engage across four full days of presentations, a private community, and an All-Access Pass that extends the experience for 12 months after the event.

What Last Year's Attendees Said

In a time that it can be easy to feel somewhat "alone" in this profession and a child-led approach, these conversations are a reminder that we are surrounded by likeminded professionals and families.

Rich M.
2025 Attendee

As a mom of a recently diagnosed autistic child, I feel seen and supported in a way that is so real and authentic. The information shared is not only helpful but deeply validating.

2025 Attendee

This was amazing, what you have created here. THANK YOU!
I appreciate your vulnerability and getting so real, all of you. This was my sign that the leap I took to be a "different SLP" was the right thing to do.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the lead list for Premier Sponsors?
An opt-in list of registrants who specifically checked a box saying they want to hear from sponsors. These are warm leads who raised their hand, not a mass email dump. We protect our audience's trust, which makes the leads more valuable for you.
Can we customize our sponsorship package?
Absolutely. The tiers are a starting point. Book a call and let's design something that matches what matters most to your brand and our attendees.
What does a sponsored presentation look like?
A 10-20 minute session that lives alongside the other summit presentations. It should provide genuine value to attendees (not just a product demo). Think: a workshop on a topic your brand is uniquely positioned to teach, with your branding and a natural mention of your product or service. We'll work with you on content to make sure it fits the summit's educational tone.
How many attendees actually show up and engage?
This is a free virtual event, so not every registrant watches every session. But our engagement is strong: we had 25,000 registrants in 2025, ~4000 who opted for the paid ticket, The All Access Pass. The All-Access Pass purchasers are your highest-value segment, watching sessions for months after the event.
When is the summit?
The summit is from August 10-13, 2026. Sponsorship commitments are ideally confirmed by June 15, 2026 to ensure full integration across all summit materials.
Who has sponsored before?
This is our first year offering formal sponsorship packages. Last year was our first event, and it was important for us to present real numbers and impact to potential sponsors. That means this year's sponsors get the best positioning and the most flexibility in designing their package.
