SUMMARY:Next Steps into Adulthood
DESCRIPTION:The transition into adulthood and away from many of the supports we have come to rely on can be daunting\, but can also be a time for growth and new opportunity. At CAR\, our commitment to families\, individuals and professionals reaches beyond just the childhood years and we strive to support the community throughout the lifespan. If your child or the individuals you support are approaching this pivotal period of transition\, please consider joining us for our upcoming workshop. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is designed for both autistic youth and the adults in their lives who support them and will focus on providing an overview of some of the factors to consider when transitioning into the adult world. There will be two separate tracks for the day – one for the autistic youth in attendance and one for parents\, caregivers and professionals. Presenters will share ideas\, resources and tools covering topics such as setting reasonable expectations and goals\, financial planning and promoting self-advocacy and independence. \n\n\n\nCost \n\n\n\nParents\, Caregivers and Professionals: $15 – Does not include parking\, which is available in the visitor’s lot at a reduced rate. Autistic youth and self-advocates are free of charge. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This workshop is being planned as an in-person event and masks will be required. The event could be transitioned to a virtual workshop\, to be held during the same time and date. Participants will be given ample notice. \n\n\n\nRequests for language interpreter or other accommodation services must be received 2 weeks in advance of the workshop. \n\n\n\nPlease contact Susannah Horner at horners@chop.edu or (267) 426-4910 with any questions. \n\n\n\n**If you register but cannot attend\, we can apply your payment to a future workshop.

SUMMARY:Eagles Autism Challenge 2022
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW!\n\n\n\nJoin us for the 2022 Eagles Autism Challenge presented by Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday\, May 21\, 2022! Register today to walk\, run\, or ride with your favorite Eagles players and coaches\, while making a transformational impact in the autism community. 100% of participant-raised funds go directly towards autism research and care programs. \n\n\n\nFROM AWARENESS TO ACTION\n\n\n\nToday\, millions of people around the world are connected to autism. The Center for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 44 people under 21 living in the United States are on the autism spectrum\, making it the fastest-growing developmental disorder. For Eagles owner and CEO Jeffrey Lurie\, it is personal. With autism in his own family\, Lurie knows his is just one of many families dealing with this condition and has seen firsthand the difference the right resources can make. \n\n\n\nAt the Eagles\, we take our responsibility to the community very seriously and look for how to best leverage our brand and ability to bring people together in order to drive critical resources and funding to autism. We want to give a voice to families who live with autism – the ones who are out there every day advocating\, promoting\, supporting\, and seeking out opportunities for their loved ones. \n\n\n\nOne organization can’t do it alone\, so we are partnering with thought leaders to advance scientific breakthroughs. Together all of us can shift from autism awareness to action for transformational impact\, not only in Philadelphia but throughout the country and the world. \n\n\n\nMISSION\n\n\n\nThe Eagles Autism Challenge is dedicated to raising funds for innovative research and programs to help. By providing the necessary resources to doctors and scientists at leading institutions\, we will be able to assist those currently affected by autism as well as future generations. Our event aims to inspire and engage the community\, so together\, we can provide much-needed support to make a lasting impact in the field of autism.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Rising 2 (NDR2)
DESCRIPTION:Together we can create a more equitable and representative workforce—for everyone. \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nIt’s time to expand and enrich the neurodiversity movement\, which has historically focused on inclusion of autistic people. These efforts have made meaningful impacts in the workforce and society at large\, but qualified autistic job seekers still face high rates of unemployment while other forms of neurodivergence are routinely overlooked. \n\n\n\nBy welcoming and supporting the full range of human neurodivergence\, a significant minority representing 20-30% of the general population\, we can build stronger momentum toward inclusion for all. This event acknowledges our responsibility to close the gaps in existing supports\, celebrate unacknowledged strengths\, and find ways to reach everyone as the movement reaches new heights. \n\n\n\nTogether we will open up the conversation on neurodiversity employment to honor all types of neurodivergence\, including dyslexia\, dyspraxia\, Tourette syndrome\, ADHD\, OCD\, and more. Neurodivergent employees and experts in the field will share their personal experiences and knowledge. Join us as we look ahead to a new era of broad neurodiversity inclusion! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker\n\n\n\nRach Idowu (she/her/hers) is an ADHD advocate who was recently diagnosed in January 2020. Shortly after her diagnosis\, Rach started a newsletter on adulting with ADHD and used Twitter to find and connect with other adults who have ADHD. Since then\, she has grown to be a prominent member of the ADHD community on Twitter and has featured in the NYTimes\, The Independent\, and Mashable. Rach also runs a Discord channel for Neurodivergent working professionals\, where reasonable accommodations and managing workload is often discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion: Expanding Our Reach in the Future of Neurodiversity Hiring\n\n\n\nDr. Tracy Johnson (she/her/hers) is the Founding President and CEO of Vessels of Hope\, a non-profit organization that helps individuals with learning disabilities. Dr. Johnson’s remarkable story of perseverance begins when she was placed in special education classes in the sixth grade\, but was not diagnosed with dyslexia until years later. Tracy’s faith and encouragement to other students with dyslexia helped to sustain her when she became discouraged over the course of her education. Tracy is a dedicated role model and a leader in the dyslexia community and other populations with learning disabilities. \n\n\n\nTumi Sotire (he/him/his) runs a social media platform called the Black Dyspraxic which aims to highlight the intersectionality of race neurodiversity. Tumi has been featured in Forbes and sits on the board of advisors at the Centre for Neurodiversity at Work Birbeck University London University. \n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nClosed captioning (CC) and live transcript will be available.Call-in option available.Slides\, transcript\, and captioned recording are available after the event\, upon request.Key takeaways will be sent to all attendees. Easy read and plain language versions available.If there are any additional accommodations you will need to access this event\, please contact us at bmcelroy@nitw.org.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Neurodiversity in the Workplace™\n\n\n\nNeurodiversity in the Workplace™ (NITW) is dedicated to making neurodiversity a fundamental component of talent acquisition by eliminating barriers faced by neurodivergent job seekers. \n\n\n\nAs a nonprofit business consultancy\, we design\, implement and sustain neurodiversity hiring programs with partner organizations. Our partnerships with companies such as Dell Technologies\, Bank of America\, SAP\, and VMware allow us to connect highly qualified neurodivergent talent to career opportunities across the globe.
