  • World Autism Day: Intersectionality in Neurodivergent Lives Symposium

    Join us on World Autism Day, Thursday, April 2, for a powerful gathering of voices from across the Neurodivergent community. We will explore how our intersecting identities of race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, culture, and neurotype shape our Neurodivergent experiences of belonging and connection. Together, we’ll celebrate the strength of our shared experiences and imagine a future where every Neurodivergent person is seen, valued, and included.

    $45 – $60

  • Support Group – Gender Identity for Adults

    This group always meets on the first Thursday of the month and is for post-high school Autistic adults who are interested in discussing and exploring their gender in a supportive setting. Most people who attend identify as transgender, nonbinary, and/or genderfluid, and some are questioning their gender identity or gender roles. Join us to share stories and perspectives, and to get support. No autism diagnosis or certainty about gender identity is required to attend. This is a safe place to explore intersecting identities.

  • Post School Outcomes

    What happens after students with disabilities leave high school? Join us for a webinar designed to help families understand the transition to adulthood and how schools and families can work together to support a successful future.
    During this session, we’ll explore post-school outcomes like employment, continuing education, and independent living, and why this information is important for improving transition services. We’ll also break down Georgia’s Indicator 14 survey, what it tells us about students’ experiences after graduation, and how schools use this data to strengthen transition planning.
    Families will leave with practical ideas for supporting their student’s goals, building strong partnerships with schools, and connecting with community resources early so students are better prepared for life after high school.
