A world that authentically embraces its inherent neurodiversity.

The ASD Nest Support Project trains, supports, and empowers public school communities and institutions to implement our collaborative, strengths-based model of equitable and inclusive education. Our work is directly informed by the perspectives and experiences of autistic self-advocates in order to create systems change in schools that foster self-determination in students.

The goal of the ASD Nest Support Project is to partner with public schools to establish inclusive cultures and advance the development and implementation of educational practices for autistic learners.
The ASD Nest Support Project provides training, professional development, and on-site consultation for teachers, therapists, and administrators, and workshops and a newsletter for ASD Nest families. Other activities include research, presentations at national professional organizations, and articles and other publications on relevant topics.
