Several CRAE team members headed to the Autism Europe Congress in Nice, France in September 2019! This year’s conference theme was “A new dynamic for change and inclusion”. It aimed to share research and experiences towards an inclusive society for autistic people.
CRAE members shared their own research findings through a variety of talks and poster sessions. Below is a list of what we presented.
FRIDAY, 13 SEPTEMBER:
• Talk – Scholars of human expression: The experiences of autistic performing arts professionals and attitudes of performing arts employers.
