This is our support group for Autistic people of color (18+). These spaces are peer-led and provide an opportunity for participants to explore how their multiple identities show up and address their specific needs, by sharing experiences and offering support to one another. We are running these meetings through the winter and then will determine the next steps for future programming based on interest and feedback.
During this session, we will discuss ways to get organized and prepared to begin a new school year. We will share resources to help introduce your child to new therapists and teachers as well as resources that will help you to communicate with your child's team. Presented by Anne Johnston, Parent Educator

Throughout America's history, transportation has been a hallmark of progress by connecting people to opportunity, strengthening communities, and expanding pathways to independence. As we commemorate both the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and our nation’s 250th anniversary, DETAC will explore how transportation continues this legacy by helping people with disabilities access competitive, integrated employment and fully participate in community life. Join national transportation expert Dr. Judy L. Shanley of Easterseals, Ashley Gettys and Lukas Smith of the Easterseals Northeast Indiana affiliate, and DETAC Strategic Advisor Dan Middleton of Catalight to explore practical strategies for strengthening transportation supports in workforce development. Participants will learn how to identify and coordinate transportation resources, leverage mobility management and travel training, and build partnerships—including with employers—to integrate transportation into employment services and address barriers to job attainment and retention.
In a world that expects social connection, FAST's new SPARK Groups aim to help tweens, older teens & young adults on the autism spectrum gain confidence, build friendships, and experience community all while preparing for real-life success.

These meetings, led by licensed speech and language pathologists, offer a safe, supportive space to build real-world social and communication skills.

Across the country, we are witnessing a troubling resurgence of calls to return to mass institutionalization—a failed and deeply harmful approach that once separated families, stripped individuals of dignity, and diverted resources away from community‑based solutions. This renewed push toward institutional care, driven by workforce shortages and gaps in effective treatment, threatens to reverse decades of progress. To address this issue and as part of our yearlong strategic vision, NFF is hosting a 5-part webinar series.
Our third webinar "Blending Advocacy and Support: The Power of Peer and Family-Run Organizations as Agents of Change" will be held on Wednesday, July 15th at 2pm et. This webinar will capture the power of peer and family-run organizations as agents of change and how they balance their dual roles as advocates and providers.
