In this workshop, we explore this intersection by increasing cultural awareness, literacy, and knowledge about gender identity, discuss gender transition and gender affirming care for Autistic people, and think critically about our role in supporting transgender, Autistic individuals.

  • Tech tools for job success

    Join us for this workshop to learn about technology that can help teens and adults with disabilities build the skills they need to get and keep a job. Participants will see demos of apps and devices that can support them through managing time, staying organized, and getting tasks done — like alarms, calendars, to-do lists, reminders, and task directions. They'll also explore how executive function tools like these can help them gain more confidence and succeed at work.

    If an ASL interpreter is required, please notify workshops@pacer.org at least 48 hours prior to the workshop. We will do our best to accommodate your request.
