Dear Friends,

Stephen Shore: From Nonspeaking Child to Global Voice

Now a professor, author, and international speaker, Stephen shares his journey and offers practical insights that help individuals on the spectrum—and those who support them—thrive, not just survive.

He’ll also unpack his well-known phrase, “If you’ve met one person with autism…”, revealing how truly recognizing each person’s individuality can transform relationships, education, and communication.
