Hire an Autism expert to speak at your event

How often do you get to ask questions of an autism expert who can talk about both the experience of autism, and the relevant science?

Book a live in-person or online talk covering your specific topics of concern, with question and answer time.

Questions About Speaking

Current Presentations

Existing programming has been created to answer the most common questions asked by particular interest groups. When I can understand your audience’s needs, I can either bring existing presentations, or tailor something specific to answer your unique questions.

Signature talks

  • Thrive With Autism Essentials
  • The Five Root Causes of Autism
  • Thanks again for your time today. Your style of presenting has a real upbeat tone, and your passion and knowledge come through very clearly. I enjoyed the opportunity to attend, and I’ve had positive feedback from my colleagues as well. I’d be happy to share our experience with anyone who is thinking of engaging your services.
    Cindy Fortuna
    AGFA Human Resources Manager, at April 24, 2013 Autism in the workplace presentation
  • We had the privilege of having Jackie present four workshops at our YWCA Cambridge Child Care Staff PD Day. It was a rare opportunity to learn from someone with firsthand knowledge of Autism. Our staff came away with an understanding of what someone with Autism experiences physically every day and strategies that will be useful in a child care setting to help support learning and reduce pain and stress for those children in the Autism Spectrum. The day was invaluable to our staff and they continue to benefit from Jackie’s information.
