We are transitioning from “awareness” to “acceptance” and headed to “appreciation” in valuing autistic and other neurodiverse individuals for whom they are. Examples of people, organizations, and entire countries at each stage of development will be presented.
The Student Collections series is a monthly speaker/lecture series for OW students based on their class level (First Year and Second Year Student Group, and Junior and Senior Student Group). Each session will be facilitated by internal or external partners who embody an OW value and/or is knowledgeable in that respective area.
