Autism Conference 2025

GTCO launches autism conference 2025 with events in Lagos and Accra, advancing autism inclusion through expert support, awareness and early intervention

Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc (GTCO) is set to host the autism conference 2025, reaffirming its commitment to promoting autism inclusion through early intervention, expert support and community awareness.

The conference will run in Lagos from 15 to 19 July, with an international session to follow in Accra, Ghana, from 21 to 24 July.

This year’s theme, From Awareness to Action: 15 Years of Advancing Autism Inclusion, marks GTCO’s sustained dedication to building a future where children with autism can thrive.

The opening event will take place at the Muson Centre, Lagos, followed by personalised family consultations at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa Secretariat.

The autism conference 2025 is organised through the Orange Ribbon Initiative, GTCO’s CSR platform, in partnership with local and international experts.

Oyinade Adegite, Chief Communication Officer at GTCO, emphasised the company’s long-term vision.

“We advocate for acceptance, early intervention and creating spaces where every child can be understood and nurtured,” she said.

Dr Grace Bamgboye, a consultant speech-language pathologist working with GTCO, praised the organisation’s consistency over the past 15 years.

“We’re seeing real progress. Clinics now intervene at just 11 months old. That’s the power of awareness and access,” she said.

“This year, parents will learn strategies to support their children, especially those unable to reach specialists.”

Behaviour analyst Osezusi Bolodeoku also highlighted the importance of home-based care.

“I began working with my son at 17 months. Twelve years later, his transformation proves the value of early support,” he said. “Thanks to GTCO, autism is less stigmatised, and families are empowered to act.”

Experts clarified that autism is a neurological condition, not a result of bad parenting. As Bolodeoku put it, “We’re replacing fear with understanding. GTCO’s platform has helped many parents seek help earlier.”

Solape Azazi, another behavioural analyst and autism advocate, added a personal note of thanks. “I’m proud to advocate not just for my son, but for countless others. GTCO’s continued support is changing lives,” she said.

The conference will include expert-led discussions, performances, and activities designed to highlight the talents of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It will also provide a space for professionals and families to exchange ideas on autism care and support.

GTCO’s international session in Accra underlines the growing impact of its autism work across West Africa.
