The Speakers Series 
The Speakers Series belongs to FEAT of Washington's collection of service programs aimed at disseminating practical, topical, useful science-based information to the autism community of Washington. Bringing together local, regional, and national experts from disciplines that include behavior analysis, education, speech-language pathology, counseling, the Speakers Series allows FEAT members to gain access to the information they need to support persons with autism and their families.
The Speakers Series also seeks to help support professionals who work with persons with autism and their families by offering events that qualify as continuing education experiences for educators, behavior analysts, and speech-language pathologists.
