Autism and University: Taking the next step


Monday, August 16, 2021 at 2 PM - 4 PM EDT

Sharon McCarthy, proprietor of Autism Journeys and author of Supporting Autonomy: Visual Strategies to Set A Child Up For Success, presents another invaluable session for autistic people and their families. Designed to set autistic university students (both new and returning) up for success, this workshop will cover a variety of areas from transitioning into the university environment from the school or home that the person is used to; to engaging and liaising with disability support services and ensuring equitable access to course material; to navigating the often stressful but rewarding social environments of university. Packed full of practical hints and strategies, and backed by Sharon’s nearly 25 years of experience in supporting autistic young people, this course is essential for any autistic person entering their university experience, or looking for some extra support post-pandemic!
