apm and Kai - thanks so much sharing your experiences. I am dealing both with school advocacy (just starting) and emotional issues, so I guess I should go to the conference! DS5 is too young for the children's program, however.

indigo - I absolutely agree with you that $325 is very reasonable if the conference helps me understand and support my DS (heck, that's way less than we've spent on testing and various parenting books!) I just was worried that it would be very commercial (ie. presenters trying to sell their latest book or program) or not as geared toward parents.
