There's only 2 weeks left to apply for the 2022 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. After the Academy, students get help from ASAN to meet their advocacy goals at their college. 

This year’s program is from July 11th through the 20th. This year’s program will be held in person, if it is safe to do so. If we cannot have ACI in person, we will hold it virtually. Learn more about the experience from past participants here.

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, 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 6th, 2022 to Meredith Bartley, [email protected].

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