Join AUCD in Creating an Inclusive 2025 | |
At AUCD, we believe in a world where all people, including those living with disabilities, are fully included and active members of their communities. With your support, we can continue to uplift the voices of self-advocates, placing them at the center of disability conversation, progress, and research, and building a more inclusive future for 2025. Through AUCD’s Central Office initiatives and the Annual Conference, we bring attention to the vital work of self-advocates like Hari Srinivasan, who was awarded the AUCD 2024 Young Professional Award. Hari, who is autistic and has ADHD, is a neuroscience researcher and PhD candidate at Vanderbilt University where the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center is located. In his acceptance speech, Hari shared: “Research and advocacy are two sides of the same coin and not independent silos. The end goal of research is supposed to be human progress. I enjoy what I get to do. I love my research and am grateful for the opportunity of education. I appreciate the people who have encouraged me along the way in the world that often seeks to limit your potential because you are seen as too disabled." With your support, AUCD can continue amplifying the voices of people like Hari. Your gift will directly help fund vital initiatives that support self-advocates in the AUCD Network. https://aucd.wufoo.com/forms/support-aucd/  |
