  • Neuroinclusive Design: Beyond Compliance Toward Sensory-Responsive Accessibility

    This webinar introduces neuroinclusive design as an evidence-informed extension of ADA accessibility practice, centering sensory and cognitive access as critical dimensions of inclusion. Drawing on applied neuroscience, disability studies, and real-world case studies from libraries, museums, workplaces, and community facilities, the session explores how lighting, acoustics, color, wayfinding, predictability, and sensory load shape access for neurodivergent individuals, older adults, veterans, and people with invisible disabilities.

  • Support Group for Fathers of Autistic Individuals

    Fathers’ Group is a place where fathers can share their experiences, support one another, and build their toolbox to parent more confidently. We will be having a good conversation over Zoom.

    Parenting can be demanding, frustrating, and at times stressful long after the child is grown. Autistic children can often have unique challenges. Parent Support Groups provide feedback, support, and perspective from peers on a variety of common issues. Groups are meant strictly for parents and do not include the Autistic child.

  • Workshop – The Employment Journey: Supporting Your Neurodivergent Teen or Young Adult

    Sometimes it can be difficult to know how much to support your children into work. You might get some push back from them, but if you can demonstrate that you are helping them to become more independent by having some money coming in for the things they would like to buy, or so that they can one-day live independently, they might be more receptive. This session will give you tips to help you as a parent to support your child in identifying their strengths, help them understand how to self-advocate for their needs and what kind of jobs they can start applying for straight away.
