Toronto Summit

The 2nd International Summit was a collaborative effort undertaken by the Canadian NTG Consortium, the NTG (USA), University of Stirling, the REENA Organization of Thornhill, Ontario, and others. The Summit, in a round-table format, was held over two days during which attendees will be examining three significant issues - human rights and intellectual disability, co-incident neuroatypical conditions, and brain health and wellness practices. The Summit was limited in attendance, but interested researchers, clinicians, agency personnel, and others were welcome to self-nominate for participation and invitation. The Toronto Summit, modeled on the first one held in Glasgow, Scotland in 2016, has agreed to produce a summative statement and participants will contribute to a series of reports and peer-reviewed articles which will emanate from the Summit.

​

The venue for the Summit was Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  Dementia screening instruments are relatively quick and easy to administer, making them suitable for use in a variety of healthcare settings. Participant travel was self-funded, and the local organizer, the Reena Organization, subsidized lodging and contributed to local amenities. The meeting site was the Holiday Inn Pearson International Airport, 970 Dixon Road, Toronto, Ontario M3W 1J9.
