Finding housing can be overwhelming, especially when autism or other developmental differences are part of the journey. This interactive conference series is designed for people who are ready to take real steps toward creating housing options—not just learning about them.

Over the course of six weeks, you’ll meet virtually (via Zoom) with Amy Johnson (Parent & Owner of Spectrum Services NY) and Heather Burroughs (Parent & Director of Advocacy at AutismUp). Both live and breathe the challenges faced by the disability community and have created this conference to help you identify opportunities, tackle barriers, and build a clear path forward.

This isn’t a passive overview. You will be expected to actively participate (cameras on, discussions encouraged) and complete brief action steps between sessions to keep momentum going. By the end of the course, you will have a person-centered housing action plan for your loved one and the knowledge, tools, and confidence to begin securing housing options that support their independence and future.
