About us
TACT (Teaching the Autism Community Trades) is a Denver-based nonprofit organization founded to encourage and empower the full spectrum of individuals with autism through skilled trades education and employment. Addressing the needs of the ASD community which experiences a 90% unemployment rate, TACT offers a strengths-based program developed specifically to provide training and create meaningful employment opportunities that are personally fulfilling to each individual student. For the autism community, TACT creates a future full of purpose and promise. The Autism community is the highest unemployment sector in the US, currently at 90%. TACT’s programs lead to employable jobs + lasting careers that are personally fulfilling and suited to each individual’s strengths. We envision a world where neurodiversity is not only embraced but inherently valued. A world where the full spectrum of the autism community can contribute their talents and gifts and find personal fulfillment.

Living up to my namesake as Co-founder of EmpowerMe Living, Kendall Building Group and Industrious Marketing. Author of "Let it Flow." Writer of "The Letdown" on Substack.
I recently got back from representing EmpowerMe Living at the First Place Global Leadership Institute's Symposium. It was an incredible event and while I am still processing everything I took in, I did manage to come up with my top ten take-aways. Here they are in written and video format! 1. Building more housing solutions for people with I/DD is possible and happening across the country. 2. Unencumbered capital stack - the least restrictions gives you the most flexibility. 3. We are making incredible technological advancements from SANDI, a driving simulator, to RIA, a humanoid robot that I believe can impact better training for DSPs. 4. Data and research is critical to advancing change. 5. The power of trades and vo-tech for people with Austism and I/DD. Check out TACT - Teaching the Autism Community Trades. 6. So much of our assessments are deficits-based. How do we flip the script and make them more strengths-based? 7. Art is an incredible connector and enables us to better understand diverse perspectives. 8. Phoenix is innovating in transportation from light rails to Waymo - City of Cincinnati take note! 9. Don't take no. 10. You are not alone.
