You will not be “officially” signed up for a table until you confirm that you’d like to reserve a table (and register as explained above).
Being here is an important form of participation, and we’re glad to have you here, even if you prefer to listen, rather than speak or chat via Zoom.
Here are some helpful guidelines & roles for INTEGRAL.
We hope you actively participate today, and we also understand that not everyone—autistic or otherwise—is comfortable asking questions or sharing perspectives in a public venue like this conference. That’s OK.
We respect your decision about whether or not to add to the conversation today, and we also want to help you feel as comfortable as possible about contributing, if you’d like. That’s why we’ve put together some guidelines for how to participate, and some suggestions about the roles that autistic adults, non-autistic parents, and non-autistic professionals can and do fill at INTEGRAL.
We hope these guidelines and ideas about roles encourage you to be part of the conversation, and give a sense of how you might contribute.
If you’re not sure of whether a particular idea or wording is OK, feel free to ask one of our facilitators, who can help you figure that out.
There are many good ways to contribute other than the ones we’ve listed here, so think of these suggestions as starting points, not as ending points.
If you have accommodation requests, questions, suggestions, or concerns (accessibility-related or not), please feel free to reach out to us via this from or by emailing integral@autismsouthcentral.org or info@autismsouthcentral.org.
If you have any questions the day of the conference, you can ask any of our volunteers (we will have name tags that say “volunteer”).
