Environmental Influences
on Neurodevelopment:

Translating the Emerging Science into Public Health Policy

Co-sponosored by
The Autism Society of America and
The Collaborative on Health and the Environment's
Learning and Developmental Disabilities Initiative

During these workshops, national experts from diverse sectors highlighted the latest research on associations between environmental exposures and early neurodevelopment as well as the implications for prevention-based public health policy. This meeting was intended to catalyze cross-discipline discussions among leaders in environmental, experimental and epidemiologic fields as well as those involved in public policy and environmental health advocacy. 

Workshops were open to the public. Faculty, students, policy makers, and others concerned with environmental influences on neurodevelopment and public health were particularly encouraged to attend.
