The Saskatchewan Prevention Institute, the University of Saskatchewan Department of Pediatrics, and Autism Services Saskatoon are collaborating to host Dr. Grant Bruno for a webinar on Indigenous perspectives on autism. The webinar, Reclaiming Indigenous Understandings of Autism and Neurodivergence, is scheduled for April 30, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. CST.
Indigenous peoples remain significantly underrepresented in autism research, policy, and practice. Drawing from his lived experience as a parent and a member of Samson Cree Nation, Dr. Grant Bruno will explore how Indigenous worldviews, knowledge systems, and community strengths can inform more meaningful and culturally grounded supports for Indigenous families with autistic children.
This webinar is being recorded and will be available to be viewed by registrants for 2 weeks following the event. We encourage you to share this opportunity with your networks.
