In This Episode for December 2022

Some autistic adults have difficulties in finding employment opportunities that match their interests, gifts, and talents. Many autistic adults are unemployed or underemployed.  

Autistic adults and youth may also face barriers to finding the right training, work, or educational programs, accessing healthcare, and enjoying a fully inclusive life in their communities. 

Please join us for this informative discussion on resources and supports available for autistics looking for employment and employers looking to hire these valuable employees.  

Our guest for this episode is Bev Harp, an autistic and the Principal Investigator of the Innovative Supports for Autistic Workers (ISAW) Project at the University of Kentucky Human Development Institute, and Bev’s assistant, Squawkers McCaw.

This session goes live on December 7th, and will be available any time after that.
