Empowering Our Future: Supporting People with Disabilities in Dublin into Employment and Self – Employment Conference

Autism Engagement Sessions

Dublin First Autism-Friendly Capital City

The Lord Mayor of Dublin and Dublin City Council have committed to partner with AsIAm, Ireland’s Autism Charity, to work towards recognition as the world’s first Autism-Friendly Capital City.

This journey will involve the recruitment of “Autism-Friendly Champion” businesses, public services and voluntary organisations to improve accessibility in the city and also the creation of a 3 year plan for how Dublin can remove barriers for Autistic people having the same chance to live, work and play in our city. This plan will be drafted through direct engagement with Autistic people, family members and the wider community.

The Lord Mayor hosted 4 consultation sessions, as part of this process, which provided  YOU with an opportunity to have your say on what steps Dublin can take to bring about true inclusion for the at least 1 in 27 people in our community who are Autistic

  • First Session: Thursday 22nd February. 6.30pm to 8pm. 
  • Second Session: Tuesday 19 March, 3pm to 4.30pm.
