Imagine what it would be like if...
-
Supporting autistic students felt simple instead of stressful?
-
The strategies you used actually honored the way autistic kids communicate, learn, and connect?
-
Progress didn’t mean fixing- but, rather, empowering kids to become authentic communicators?
This isn’t just possible ... it’s essential. And we’re here to show you how.
25+ Experts. 3 Days. A New Way.
Join our incredible line up of thought leaders for an eye-opening, actionable 3-day event where you’ll:
Unlearn outdated compliance-based approaches and replace them with strategies rooted in relational safety and trust.
Understand the sensory, nervous system, and communication needs driving behavior, so you can respond with connection, not control.
Discover how to advocate for child-led, affirming support across all settings.
And so much more…
This is more than a summit.
It’s a movement.
Maybe right now it feels like…
You're fighting an uphill battle against an outdated system.
You're being judged for "letting kids do whatever the want" by adults who prioritize compliance.
You aren't sure how to embed learning opportunities and track progress in a child-led approach.
You're trying to follow your students' lead, but you don't know how to support their engagement.
You're not sure it's possible to be child-led when in a classroom or group setting with multiple students.
If you're thinking... "There's gotta be a better way!"
You're absolutely right.
And our expert thought leaders are here to lead you in the right direction.
You got into this field to make a difference, not to burn out trying to figure it all out on your own.
Imagine how it would feel to...
Finally have a clear, proven approach to supporting autistic students: one that's child-led, neuroaffirming, and designed to deliver real results.
Empower your autistic learners to thrive with ease: no more spending hours planning activities that might not hit the mark (we've all been there 😅).
Feel confident that your support is transforming the lives of your autistic students, seen in their progress, their joy, and your own sense of purpose and fulfillment.
That's exactly how you'll feel after attending this incredible event!

Meet Your Host
Hi! I'm Nicole Casey. I'm a speech-language pathologist and mom of two toddlers. Over my 11 years in the field, I've seen firsthand the challenges professionals are faced when it comes to implementing a child-led and neuroaffirming approach in an outdated, ableist system.
I'm here to guide you in honoring what you already know to be true: that both you and your students deserve better than a system that is designed to highlight deficits and enforce compliance.
I've curated a group of incredibly passionate speakers who each have powerful insight to share. Together, we'll shake up the autism space and lean into the connection that we know is the foundation for all skills!
Ready to make this the best year ever for your autistic learners (and yourself🫶) ?
Let’s jumpstart it together at The Child-Led Autism Summit!
A special thank you to all of our sponsors!
