Neurodiversity & Employment
Disability inclusion and accessibility in the workplace often leaves out individuals with high support needs. Employment is so vital to the livelihood of autistic individuals of all abilities. Yet in Washington State very rarely high support needs individuals ever experience employment. Please join Dr. Abby George and Miguel Smith, MSW for effective strategies that help promote meaningful inclusion and accessibility practices.
