Are you or someone you know neurodivergent?

Are you interested in creating a more inclusive community for everyone?

If so, this is the presentation for you!

Join us for a virtual Lunch & Learn Thursday, March 14th from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.

We will start with a brief introduction of who we are and then dive into the 6 Principles that are instrumental in creating environments where everyone can thrive.

These 6 Principles – Communication, Environment, Structure, Flexibility, Emotion and Connection – are informed by and created collaboratively with Autistics themselves. We’ll go over each one, from tackling communication breakdowns to adding structure for success. And guess what? These Principles are not just for neurodivergent folks; they are for anyone aiming to create an inclusive, welcoming space at work or in their community. Towards the end of the presentation, we will open the floor to any questions and discussions! We are all about fostering inclusivity, so let’s create spaces where everyone can shine!

There are a few tickets remaining, so don’t delay. Click the button below that says “6 Principles to Inform Action” to reserve your spot.
