This session is designed to educate about potential barriers and gaps in transition support, while facilitating conversations about moving forward. As conversations around ASD student support become more prevalent, our hope is that this presentation may increase awareness and confidence in participating in the discussion. Through the breakout session we will highlight the programs and structures we have at place at Algonquin College to provide these supports, while giving space to hear from other individuals and institutions. We want to extend a purposeful invitation to any neurodiverse attendees- your presence, knowledge and participation always enriches these conversations.
