Applications are open for the 2021 Autism Campus Inclusion (ACI) Leadership Academy! The ACI summer leadership training prepares autistic students to engage in disability advocacy on their college campuses. ACI participants learn about making student groups, understanding disability policy, and talking to people in power. After the Academy, students get help from ASAN to meet their advocacy goals at their college. This year’s program will be held virtually from July 8th through the 16th, 2021.

Past students have learned [[link removed]] new skills and information about topics in different fields, including disability policy, building student groups, intersectionality in activism, and campaign strategies. After ACI is over, students return to their campuses to share what they’ve learned, improve campus accessibility, and create policy change on a local, state, and national level.

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, Puerto Rico or Canada (Please note: the policy sections of our program will focus on the United States).

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 7st, 2021 to Haley Outlaw at [email protected].

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