Eagles Autism Challenge 2022
2022-05-21 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Lincoln Financial Field, One Lincoln Financial Field Way, Philadelphia, PA, 19148
REGISTER NOW!

Join 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.

FROM AWARENESS TO ACTION

Today, 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.

At 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.

One 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.

MISSION

The 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.

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.

This 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.

Cost

Parents, 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.

Please 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.

2022-07-29 07:00 - 08:00
We are truly delighted to invite our membership to join a conversation with the renowned sociologist, author, originator and international speaker on Neurodiversity, Judy Singer.

Neurodiversity in Business’ mission is inspired by the life and career of Judy Singer:‘Building a neuroinclusive world – it’s more than just good business!’

So, where better to start with the first of our monthly webinars than a conversation about what a neuroinclusive world looks like and how we achieve it, than with Judy Singer who originally coined the term ‘Neurodiversity.’

Judy will reflect on the evolution of the ND movement to gain valuable insights that shape our future, with a focus on how changes in the workplace can catalyse improvements in society and improve social mobility for those marginalised because they have different thinking patterns, communication abilities and lived experiences.How do we create neuroinclusive businesses? We learn lessons from the past and define improvements so we can be the change we want to see in this world. So whatever your questions, there is only one place to find the answers – at the beginning!

On Friday July 29th from 12:00 to 13:00 (GMT), please join this fantastic event online – proudly sponsored by Tech Talent Academy – which is free for our corporate members, individual members and community partners.

Hiring for a different type of wiring - why should you embrace neurodiversity in the workplace?
2023-03-21 08:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
REGISTER

Creating a more inclusive working environment that embraces neurodiversity – why fostering diversity of thought can lead to greater innovation and creativity in the workplace.

As companies ramp up their focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), there is one group that is all too often overlooked in the diversity conversation and when hiring. Neurodivergent groups often experience far higher rates of unemployment than the rest of the population despite having the ability and desire to work.

There are however, organizations that are making an extra effort to recruit, retain, and nurture neurodivergent workers and as a result, gain competitive edge from increased diversity in skills, ways of thinking, and approaches to problem-solving.

Join this conversation as we uncover what embracing neurodiversity really means in practice and what it can bring to an organization.

Key takeaways

Learn about great organizational practice in embracing neurodiversity from IBM

Understand more about neurodiverse talent and what they can bring to the team

Hear real life examples of some of the challenges of employment for neurodiverse groups
