Allies Supporting Choices
April 20th from 10:30 AM – 12:00 AM CT via Zoom
The presenters is Donnie Denome from Autistic Self Advocacy Network.
 
We will be discussing ways people give consent in their everyday lives and how important it is to learn how to communicate choices. We will go over everyday examples of consent and how it is really important for people with disabilities (outside of relationships or intimacy). Consent is something that already happens all the time, it's not just something for relationships. So let’s talk about it!
