I enjoy public speaking as a medium for sharing and exchanging ideas. If your organization would benefit from engaging with topics such as disability awareness, inclusion, and religion, I would be excited to collaborate with you.

Autism and disability inclusion

I am available for speaking engagements, consulting, and workshops pertaining to autism inclusion in diverse settings. I am pleased to tailor the training to the unique needs of your organization. Examples of these settings include:

• The workplace
• Education, such as colleges, universities, and schools
• Churches and religious organizations
• Law enforcement and the criminal justice system
• Health care and first responders
• Travel, transportation, and tourism

I am continually expanding my repertoire of services and settings. If your organization would benefit from autism sensitivity training, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

My format

I usually give speeches ranging from 20-45 minutes of speaking time, followed by 5-15 minutes for Q&A. I am available for in-person presentations in the Raleigh, NC area. I am also available for video conferencing, and I am very comfortable with Zoom and similar platforms.

Fees
45-minute presentation: $150
1-hour presentation: $200
