18th Annual Autism Extravaganza
Join us for the 18th Annual Autism Extravaganza as we hear from Dr. James Williams about his life with ASD and journey to love. Dr. Williams will be joined by his wife, Chrissy, as they discuss their journey together in “Living and Loving with ASD.” Dr. Williams will also share how to “Bridge the Gap” for post-secondary employment and education strategies for students with disabilities. He will also discuss the Top 10 Mistakes to avoid when transition planning. We will end our time together with a screening of the movie: “Autism Goes to College”- which follows 5 students on the spectrum as they navigate college. This is a “first-of-its kind film, packed with honest insights for students, parents, and educators offering an eye-opening look at what a growing number of neurodiverse students are bringing to campus.”
