🌟 After an insightful Day One of the 10th Annual Canadian Autism Leadership Summit, we are ready to dive into today’s theme: Implement. We're focusing on strengthening the impact of the National Autism Strategy. Leaders will share updates on transformative changes like the Canada Disability Benefit and Disability Tax Credit. A highlight is the panel "Breaking Barriers: Promising Practices for Inclusion in Autism," bringing diverse perspectives on inclusion from frontline services to governance. Attendees will uncover actionable steps and lessons for improvement. Interactive sessions dive into regional autism policies with roundtable discussions, identifying gaps and crafting tailored action plans. Facilitated activities and a keynote will guide in developing actionable measures. We will wrap up with our Community Showcase, a networking session featuring visual displays of lived experiences, community initiatives, and research projects. Let's connect, share insights, and foster collaboration! Discover the full program: https://lnkd.in/dGWMabGq #AutismAcceptance #Autism #Autistic #CALS2024 #NationalAutismStrategy

Day 2 was great information on what's working well and where there is room for growth in the provinces and territories. It's always easier to criticize what's not working that it is to dream of solutions or identify/celebrate what is working well. We worked together to learn what's involved in making change and heard from some folks who ran for elected positions in school boards and government to have their voices heard and make change. The afternoon was a great learning experience in roundtable discussions including via zoom on the process of 1. "taking stock" gathering information from community on existing gaps and strengths in existing public policy based on the needs of Autistics (via consultation, collaboration and campaigns from and with people with lived experience, researchers, advocacy groups etc.) to inform government; 2. "generating potential solutions" discussing potential improvements / solutions, presenting a plan with clearly articulated goals and timelines; 3. "prioritizing solutions" by importance, or number of people it would benefit (keeping in mind provincial/territorial governments have on healthcare, education, social services under their jurisdiction while the federal government shares jurisdiction with provinces/territories on housing, employment and research); 4. "refining solutions" to present a specific action ready for government action, then 5. "advocating" for solutions, making sure the 'ask' is specific, measurable, understandable and practical.

Hi Leaders, Did you know Neurodiversity is NOT a disability? I hope you said yes 🙏🏾 Neuroinclusion is a growing topic within the workplace. As It should be! It is so important in a world where we all think, behave, and learn differently. I can help you fulfill your goals of being more neuro-inclusive within your organization and business. Are you eager to make an inclusive impact in your organization, community, or coaching practice? Embracing neuroinclusion is the key! I'm excited to share that you can schedule a consultation with me to explore how to embed neuroinclusion deeply into your leadership journey. #Neurodivergentlycoaching #coachingandconsulting

Understanding Humans from the Ground Up: The Power of Childhood The foundation of human behavior is built in childhood. If we want to understand adults, we must start by understanding their early years. Working with children—especially those with neurodiversity—provides deep insights into how we grow, adapt, and function in the world. By addressing these early stages, I help individuals and families unlock potential, resilience, and well-being in their lives. When we focus on the root, we build stronger futures. #HumanBehavior #ChildhoodDevelopment #Neurodiversity #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Wellbeing
