This #NationalAccessibilityWeek, we're celebrating the valuable contributions of #Autistic leaders like Rowan! 🙌

Rowan has worked with us in many capacities, from Events Lead to Support Worker to Learning Facilitator. Most recently, she has been leading programs and workshops for Autistic youth and adults!

Here's what Rowan had to say about the importance of peer-led programming:

"𝘗𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘹 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥.
