The Autistic Self Advocacy Network is now accepting applications for the 2024 Autism Campus Inclusion (ACI) Leadership Academy! ACI helps autistic students learn to make their college campuses better for people with disabilities. ACI participants learn about making student groups, understanding disability policy, and talking to people in power. [[link removed]] After ACI, students get help from ASAN to meet their advocacy goals at their college. ACI 2024 will be held from July 15th through 24th, 2024.

This year’s ACI program will be held virtually. Due to the ongoing pandemic, we have held ACI virtually since 2020.

To apply for Autism Campus Inclusion (ACI), you must:

* Be autistic. You do not have to have an official autism diagnosis to apply.

* Be a student at a college or university with at least one year left before you graduate.  Students in TPSID programs (Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities), 2-year community colleges, 4-year colleges, and graduate school are eligible to apply.

* Live in the United States or Canada. This includes all 50 states and DC, all US territories, and all provinces and territories of Canada. (Please note: the policy sections of our program will focus on the United States) You do not have to be a citizen of either the US or Canada.

We especially encourage students of color, LGBT students, low-income students, students with intellectual disabilities, AAC users, and students from other marginalized communities to apply.

To apply, please submit a completed application by Sunday, March 3rd, 2024 to Dean Strauss, [email protected] [[email protected]].

If you need assistance or accommodations at any stage, or have any questions about ACI, please contact Dean Strauss, [email protected] [[email protected]].
