For a third year in a row, the Preschool Autism Summit is proudly partnering with Lilly's Voice, a nonprofit on a mission to put AAC devices into the hands of children who need them.
Founded in 2021 and inspired by a young autistic girl named Lilly, the organization has already provided over 585 AAC devices to non-speaking children, giving them a powerful way to communicate, connect, and be understood.
And here's the part that makes my heart full: thanks to this incredible community, Autism Little Learners has donated funds for 30 robust AAC devices over the past two years through our partnership with Lilly's Voice. That's 30 children who now have a voice, all because of educators and families like you.
When you upgrade to the All Access Pass, you're doing two beautiful things at once. You'll gain the strategies, insights, and tools to better support the preschool-age autistic children in your life, and you'll help another child find their voice.
A portion of every All Access Pass goes directly to Lilly's Voice.
Every child deserves a voice. Thank you for helping us give them one.
As you can see from these amazing value-packed presentations, this is an event you do not want to miss. Click below to grab your free ticket and join us for the Preschool Autism Summit!
