Upcoming events from Autism Connections and Family Empowerment

November 13, 2023

Coming up this week...

This Tuesday's ZOOM @ NOON webinar focuses on the College Navigator Program from Easter Seals (GCC is a partner college). The navigator program is another option for those looking to continue their education after high school, and receive supports.

Our Saturday morning webinar addresses the very complicated topic of applying for SSI or SSDI benefits for those 18+. Join the event to learn some details to help increase the probability your application will be accepted.

We often hear from adults and/or their families who are looking for meaningful ways to engage with the community. Trying our adult forum, Adult Topics on the Spectrum, is a great way to start! The 18-25 age range group meets virtually this week on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Next Tuesday will be the 26+ group.

Be well,

The Family Empowerment and Autism Connections teams
