This month, The Vanguard School & Services team attended two significant events supporting neurodiverse individuals and their families.

We were honored to join the Neurodiversity Employment Network (NEN) of Philadelphia’s Retention by Design conference, where employers and community partners explored strategies for creating inclusive workplaces where neurodiverse employees can thrive.

Our team also attended CHOP’s Involved and Informed Symposium for Autism Fathers and Autism Advocates, bringing together fathers, caregivers, advocates, and professionals to share resources and strengthen community connections.

A special thank you to Laura McAnulty of NEN and Jamiel Owens of CHOP for leading these meaningful events and for their partnership in advancing opportunities for the autism and neurodiverse communities.
