EDI Lunch & Learn - FSU Autism Institute

Amy Wetherby, the Director of the FSU Autism Institute and Cathy Zenko, the Director of the FSU Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD) will share information on their work and opportunities for campus engagement as the EDI Office recognizes Autism Appreciation Month.

The FSU Autism Institute was established to coordinate and promote research, education, and service related to autism spectrum disorders. The specific aims of the Autism Institute are:

  • to promote interdisciplinary research that advances scientific knowledge of autism spectrum disorders;
  • to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and clinical/educational practice;
  • to build the capacity of primary care and other service providers, educators, employers, family members, and individuals with autism spectrum disorders to improve outcomes through research and training; and
  • to maximize the use of innovative video and computer information technology in research, education, and service related to autism spectrum disorders

Over the course of the academic year, The EDI Office will host a monthly event featuring an academic department or administrative office.  These Lunch & Learns are intended to provide information and access to university resources in an effort to foster a diverse, inclusive and equitable campus community; in alignment with the Diversity & Inclusion goal of the university’s strategic plan.

Wednesday, April 13, 2022, from 12:00 P.M. - 1:00 P.M.
