Sharing our Work

Connecting, Sharing Our Work, and Learning from Others

 

 

Our team recently attended and shared out work at the Georgia Autism Conference and Expo hosted by the Georgia State University Center for Leadership in Disability. 

Our team recently attended an autism acceptance day event to share resources and learn from the community on their current priorities and needs. The event was hosted by Autismo Pequeños Corazones Gigantes (Autism Little Giant Hearts), the City of Doraville, and the Police Departments from three Cities (Doraville, Brookhaven, and Chamblee). 

ACCESS team members recently attended the premiere of Navigating Autism in Communities of Color. This production is a collaboration between the Georgia Tech Schools of History and Sociology (Jennifer Singh) and Literature, Media, and Communication (John Thornton) and The Color of Autism Foundation (Camille Proctor).
