    Profound Village is a learning community devoted exclusively to Profound Autism. The Summit, held just once a year, brings together families, caregivers, and professionals to learn and connect, but we know not everyone can attend in person. That’s why we created Profound Village, an online learning community that provides year-round access to experts across various fields and fosters meaningful connections among parents, caregivers, and professionals.
