  • 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.

  • AAC for Transition-Aged Youth and Adults

Others need new AAC systems after leaving school. This webinar will cover AAC use, resources, and ideas for teenagers and adults.

    This workshop will be conducted using Zoom. After registering, you will receive an invitation to join the Zoom meeting.

  • 504 Plans

    Tune in to take a look at 504 plans. Section 504 is federal civil rights law under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) administers Section 504—not the State. A 504 plan is designed to give students with disabilities or medical conditions equal access to the general education curriculum. We will explore accommodations and how they can be used to level the playing field for learners.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

    Upon completion, participants will be able to:

    Summarize what Section 504 provides to students with disabilities
    List examples of accommodations
    Locate 504 resources
