NYC Autism Tech, Innovation & Career Expo
May 7, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 8:00 pm
$15.00
Supports and guidance for autistic young people and families are often expensive, out of reach, and can even cause more harm than good.
We want to showcase to you, with a variety of speakers, exhibitors, vendors, and demonstrations – that modern tech and innovation can support autistic young people to accept themselves – and families to embrace their autistic young people more authentically and affordably.
A key goal of our event – is to provide a direct access to autism inclusive employers, where they can build careers in a field that they love. The unemployment rate for autistic young adults is around 84% – we want to play our part to drastically improve that with our event.
There will be speakers and workshops throughout the day.
Our Keynote Speaker is Jude Morrow – Autistic author, motivational speaker, 2x TEDx Speaker, and Founder of Neurodiversity Training International.
Also Speaking is – Celest Austin MD – Founder of GoManda – a tech inspired app that helps autistic children learn and communicate in their already wonderful autistic way.
There will be expert panels to discuss:
Neurodiversity employment and job matching for young adults with autism
Technology supports for children and young adults with autism
Allies/advocates–how do we best support our children and young adults with autism, beginning with our own mindset and necessary planning
