We are delighted to invite you to visit our new location on June 11. We’ll meet in the conference room and enjoy some light refreshments. I would love to hear your thoughts on advocacy priorities and future meeting topics.
Training participants will learn:
1. How communication supports and choice opportunities foster self-advocacy, specifically for non-verbal individuals.
2. Self-advocacy is especially important for students with autism and is necessary to achieve a higher level of independence, confidence, and a sense of identity.
3. Learn that advocacy from parents and guardians has been the trailblazing efforts that have made and changed policies on a local, state, and federal level.
Autistic President, Ali Burris, Board Secretary Maria Roark, and VP Ashley Jackson will speak about:
- ASW’s mission and goals
- Benefits of starting a chapter in Kitsap County
Support and training for various diagnoses can be found on our Resources page.
