Event Description

Application for 2019 Autism Campus Inclusion (ACI) Leadership Academy is now open. Submit an application before February 24, 2019. ACI helps autistic students learn to make their college campuses better for people with disabilities. ACI participants learn about making student groups, understanding disability policy, and talking to people in power. After the Academy, students get help from ASAN to meet their advocacy goals at their college. ACI participants will travel to Washington D.C. from June 15th to June 22nd, 2019. ASAN pays for travel and rooms for all ACI students.
To apply for Autism Campus Inclusion (ACI), you must:
