Microenterprise Roundtable

As our ASD kids transition to the adult world, many will need to find work. But job opportunities haven’t kept pace with the autism epidemic. The Microenterprise Roundtable will focus on one solution: parent-driven microenterprises tailored the interests, talents, and abilities of our children. Workshop participants, including presenters and members of the audience, will share information about the microenterprises they envision or have built.
