Thank you to KalTire – our Seed Funding Sponsor for the Community Presentations Program
Thank you for your interest in Autism Calgary’s Presentations Program. As one of Autism Calgary’s core activities is to educate and increase awareness and understanding of Autism, we are thrilled that your school/organization is interested in accessing our unique program. As the rate of Autism continues to escalate with increasing rates, the importance of promoting diversity and inclusion is more important than ever.
Our Introduction to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presentation focuses on the following main themes:
- The lived experience of ASD
- Not underestimating a person with ASD
- Normalizing ASD
- Minimizing fear of the unknown
- How to relate to people with ASD
Autism Calgary offers schools and community groups our presentations program on a voluntary donation basis. To support our highly skilled presenters, and the costs associated with operating as a registered charity, our net average operational cost associate with each presentation exceeds $400. Therefore, we gratefully accept donations to offset these costs.
A recommended minimum donation of $250 will ensure our capacity to keep the program running. However, should a donation present a hardship, of course we would still gladly do the presentation, as we are committed to this important cause.
Thank you for partnering with Autism Calgary. Together we can be the vehicle for change!
If you would like to move forward and have Autism Calgary provide a presentation, we will need to know who we will be presenting to and how many people. We would then coordinate with the presenter and finalize a time and date with all parties involved.
