Join us for an engaging and informative evening dedicated to raising awareness and fostering greater understanding of autism spectrum disorder. This panel discussion will bring together a diverse group of voices—including parents, educators, advocates, and professionals—who will share their personal experiences, insights, and strategies for supporting individuals on the autism spectrum.

The event aims to create a welcoming, supportive, and educational space for families, caregivers, and community members who want to deepen their knowledge and strengthen inclusive practices. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, access resources, and connect with others in the local community committed to making a positive impact.
