Screen Time & Early Child Development World Summit 2025

Autism researchers, doctors and early interventionists speak at a two day online conference, and a family shares how a son lost autism related symptoms when screen time was changed.

On January 11th and 12th, 2025, the first online world summit on screen time and early childhood development, specifically related to autism, was hosted by the documentary team of A Stone Unturned, and featured speakers and experts in early child development from the United States, France and Romania.

The format of the talks included 20 minute presentations from child psychologists, clinicians, autism researchers, and early interventionists as well as parents who removed screen time for their children showing development symptoms related to autism and later saw remediation of those symptoms as part of early interventions. 

Here are the full talks from the world summit, including an agenda and list of speakers for the two days.
