Autism & Education: Virtual Autism MyTime

Helping educators understand your autistic child’s unique needs can make a significant difference in their education experience. 

Join this peer group discussion to discover practical strategies families have used to share their child’s strengths and challenges with educators, identify and request supports, and build strong relationships with teachers and staff. Ask questions, share your experiences, and connect with families navigating their autistic child’s education. 

Together, we’ll explore ways to foster safety and belonging, helping your child to thrive in a supportive environment.

This event is facilitated by Kristy
