FYI... With an ever-increasing enrollment of students with autism at colleges and universitites, it's becoming more important than ever to gain an understanding of autistic culture and communication. Luckily for you, AHEAD is thrilled to welcome the brilliant Sara Sanders Gardner (autistic person and parent, founder of the nationally recognized Neurodiversity Navigators program at Bellevue College in Washington State and Autistic at Work LLC) to host a 2-day deep dive into this topic. With information and research from the autistic community themselves, this institute will highlight autistic culture and communication, how to accommodate co-occurring conditions, pedagogical practices for inclusion to share with faculty, codes of conduct, problem-solving strategies for autistic students, and even navigating dorm life. Don't miss this chance to gain practical tools that you can take back to your campus. Whether you're a staff member, faculty, or just passionate about inclusion, this Institute promises to be as engaging as it is informative.
