Welcome to SARC 4

Saudi Autism Research Conference 2025

The Saudi Autism Research Conference (SARC) is the Kingdom’s leading platform dedicated to advancing autism science, clinical practice, and public awareness. Now in its 4th edition, SARC 4 will bring together clinicians, researchers, educators, caregivers, and policy-makers to share the latest evidence, innovations, and multidisciplinary approaches in autism and applied behavior analysis (ABA).
Hosted by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz University Hospital in partnership with the Charitable Society of Autism Families, SARC 4 builds on the legacy of SARC 1, 2, and 3 — each year growing in reach, impact, and relevance.
