Back for 2023! Inclusive Employment Showcase!
Finding Employment Can Be Hard. Learn How to Make It Easier.
Diversity & Inclusion in the workforce is becoming more prevalent each year. However, individuals such as those with autism, often struggle to understand the methods, processes, and best practices needed to pursue employment - and inclusion - in the workplace.
ASRC Wants to Help Educate and Inform
Selected employers and organizations, as part of the CT Walk for Autism, will showcase how they help special populations navigate the often difficult path to employment. Don't miss it! You'll have the chance to ask general questions on a variety of topics related to diversity, inclusion, and paths to employment.
Coming 10.26.23: A Learning Event & Job Fair for Neuro-Diverse Populations!
How Your Support Makes a Difference
ASRC’s Vision is to prepare those with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders) for the world, as we prepare the world for those with ASD. It is a daily challenge, but with your help, we can make meaningful progress.
ASRC provides services, supports and resources to families and individuals living with autism, as well as to the educators, medical and therapeutic professionals and community providers who work with them.
We offer opportunities for parent networking, activities, social groups, training, advocacy and events for all ages, as well as responding to hundreds of families who are new to the diagnosis or who need guidance navigating transition and adult issues. We do so much, but there is still so much to be done - and your support is vital. We are expanding our focus on employment and transition options, but need your support to get there!
The current incidence rate of autism is 1 in 54 (2019 – Government survey), and ASRC’s services are becoming increasingly critical. Your help truly makes a difference.
