Key Note Speaker: Morénike Giwa Onaiwu, EdD(IP); MA, Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network

When people don’t fit the dominant image associated with their identity, already significant barriers  increase.  Hear from a panel of authors and storytellers “Telling Our Stories.” Attend workshops to learn about:

• Special Education Services and English Language Learners;
• Getting the right diagnosis for youth of color;
• Having autism in the LGBTQ community
• Growing up Disabled in the Caribbean American Community

Join us for an overview of the issues as well as concrete support and strategies for dealing with them.
