Discover what’s possible when family, school and community unite.
How can better education and training lead to safer, more inclusive communities for autistic individuals?
This episode is part two of my conversation with Jennifer Kaufman, a former special-education school principal and the grandmother of a boy on the spectrum. We discuss what it takes to create communities where autistic individuals are understood and supported—from the classroom to emergency situations.
We also touch on:
- Best practices in education for autistic students
- Common misconceptions about autism in education
- Jennifer’s training for first responders to support neurodiverse individuals in high-stress situations
- Creating inclusive environments through universal design
- The importance of building strong, collaborative relationships among families, schools, and communities
- Tips for grandparents of autistic children
