ABOUT US
Who We Are.
Our Mission
We aim to continue breaking the stigma associated with neurodivergent individuals contributing to the workforce.
Our Vision
Four goals that have now become the pillars of Spectrum Works - employment, awareness, education, and most importantly, hope. Hope for a bright future for those living with Autism and their families.
Our Purpose

Why Virtual?
Hosting a virtual event allows us: Firstly, to scale the event across Canada, enabling us to reach more communities outside major Canadian cities. Secondly, To mitigate in-person crowds and situations that may be stressful for those who experience social anxiety or sensory overload.
