Our programs at I CAN Network place a strong emphasis on embracing the unique strengths and talents of Autistics.

Our professional development sessions focus on sharing with professionals our insights into how to help build a safe and supportive network around Autistic or neurodivergent learners. These insights have been gained from the lived experience of our staff and the collective experiences of thousands of mentees over the last eight years.

Our goals are to develop self-acceptance, belonging, optimism, and confidence in young Autistics.

Topics covered include:

• • Understanding Autism (from an Autistic lived perspective)
  • I CAN Network Background and Programs
  • Storytelling
  • Networks of support
  • Resources
  • Strategies for leveraging the strengths and supporting the challenges of Autistic young people
