Join us for an inspiring and educational webinar with Elle Livengood, a Deaf and Autistic educator, as she shares her powerful story and lived experiences.
In this session, Elle will offer deep insights into what it means to be both Deaf and Autistic. Drawing from her personal journey, she’ll discuss her evolving understanding of Autism, her experience transitioning from being Hard of Hearing to Deaf, and her perspective on receiving a cochlear implant.
Elle will also explore important topics such as language development, affirming Deaf and Autistic children, and how families can navigate systems that often overlook or fail to support marginalized communities.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from Elle’s unique perspective and valuable expertise.

As a provincial organization FSI acknowledges that our work spans across all of the traditional, ancestral, and unceded Indigenous territories in BC. Therefore, we respectfully honour all First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, as well as their ancestors, who have lived here and cared for these lands. It is with gratitude that we can live, learn and do our work in the province now known as British Columbia.
