SUMMARY:AutismBC Workshop: What is Autism?
DESCRIPTION:What is Autism?\nWould you like to learn how to support someone on the autism spectrum better? Would you like to make your business or place of work more inclusive by becoming more sensory-friendly? Our What is Autism Workshop focuses on providing guidance and training around community inclusion. Over an hour\, participants learn how community members on the autism spectrum may experience the world to increase autism awareness and acceptance. \nWe offer this workshop to build supportive\, inclusive communities for all autistic people. We want to see the world where community accommodations are commonplace\, and community spaces are designed to support all neurotypes. \nGuided by insights from autism service providers\, parents of autistic children\, and autistic self-advocates\, our training tackles essential questions\, such as: \n\nWhat is Autism?\nHow many people in BC are on the Autism spectrum?\nWhat does AutismBC do?\nHow and why can my workplace offer simple accommodations to be more inclusive?\nWe will discuss all of these questions and more!\n\nJoin us for a 30-minute introduction session and 30 minutes of questions. Extend the invitation to your co-workers\, family\, and friends — all are welcome! \nAdditionally\, Throughout our session\, you will: \n\nExpand your awareness about autism and the ways autistic people might experience the world.\nGain insight into how you may offer accommodations or alter environments to provide support.\n\nIndividuals come together for regular sessions\, engaging in various ways. They can participate by listening attentively\, asking questions\, or sharing a unique accommodation they have developed and believe others should adopt. Through collective efforts\, we strive to enhance social inclusion within the autistic community throughout British Columbia. \nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Thursday\, August 15\, 2024\nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm PST (30 mins Info Session + 30 mins Q&A)\nLocation: Live and online via Zoom\nHow: The Zoom link will be provided in the event registration confirmation and a reminder email.\n\nWe hope to see you there! \nRegistration Closed. \nAutismBC ensures that all expenses associated with hosting these sessions are covered\, making them accessible to everyone without charge.
