Hear from 5 autistic experts about what they wish educators understood about ableism. Participants will learn what ableism is and the many ways it shows up in our educational systems. Panelists will share the types of supports they received in school and challenge educators to explore ways they can address ableism in their work. This panel will be moderated by PINE Member Summit keynote presenter, Max Schneider. Max is a white, transgender, queer, mad & neurodivergent, psychiatric survivor. They work as an educator, consultant, and mental health clinician focused on transformative and critical educational practices.
