BRILLIANCE OF AUTISM: UTILIZING OUR TALENTS TO IMPACT THE WORLD
Presented by: Ron Sandison
Join us for a free in-person event presented by author and speaker, Ron Sandison. Parents and educators will learn practical ways to empower children and young adults with autism to utilize their strengths to accommodate limitations. In this message, Ron shares his journey with autism and the stories of young people on the spectrum who are impacting the world and the keys to their success. Packed with inspiring stories like Armani Williams, a NASCAR driver, Tarik El-Abour, a professional baseball player, and Rachel Barcellona, Miss Florida. Ron shares the wisdom he gained from interviewing two hundred plus young adults with autism while writing his fourth book Adulting on the Spectrum: An Insider’s Guide to Navigating Life with Autism published by Kregel.
This Evening Enrichment is designed for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or families and caregivers supporting an individual with disabilities or learning challenges, school staff, and other community members.
