Community Member and Service Providers

Even if you do not specialize in an environment that directly supports individuals with ASD, it is likely that you still meet them day-to-day. Neighbors, friends, customers, coworkers, fellow worshipers, we all have a duty to include neurodiversity in our understanding of our community. These workshops and trainings teach science-backed information about how best to include your peers with ASD in the workplace, in public, and beyond.
