The E3 Conference: Embrace, Educate, Empower–Bridging Neurodiversity for Professionals, Families and Students
This collaboration between The Workshop and the Work and Play Disability Community Center is made possible by the support of the Morris Chair in Educational Transformation
What is The E3 Conference?
The E3 conference aims to start conversations about the experiences of neurodiverse individuals in different community settings and to give people the tools to advocate for themselves or someone they love. Professionals such as teachers, social workers, therapists, law enforcement officers, researchers, government workers, advocates, and people involved in arts and recreation, will lead various sessions. Attendees will learn about resources and advocacy, and can come away with some concrete tools. We will collectively discuss ways to empower neurodivergent individuals in areas like work, education, and cultural or political life. This conference will center the voices of the neurodiverse community and strives to be a welcoming environment for all.
When: April 11th @ 8:30 AM - 4 PM
Where: Eastern Michigan University Student Center
900 Oakwood St.Ypsilanti, Michigan 48197
