This year, we expanded our outreach by hosting events in various locations across Florida, such as Canvas Church (Newberry, FL), the Florida Museum of Natural History (Gainesville, FL), and Reach Academy (Jacksonville, FL). The ELTL Lab is committed to fostering accessibility and engagement in diverse learning environments within our community settings.

We collaborate with the Florida Museum of Natural History on various projects. During their 'Museum for Me' events, they provide sensory adjustments to create a peaceful and inclusive environment for autistic families to fully enjoy their museum experience. We held our Tech Club event at the museum during their recent August event, making learning both fun and accessible to all.

We partnered with a local Gainesville, FL, church to host our Tech Club, creating an accessible space for informal learning within the community. The ELTL Lab is dedicated to promoting inclusive learning through the integration of technology.
June 19th to 21st, 2023
We work closely with Reach Academy, an autistic school in Jacksonville, FL, where we introduce a wide range of technologies and learning opportunities into their classrooms. By providing a familiar and 'safe place' for learning, we aim to minimize barriers that can arise when transitioning to new environments. Our partnership with Reach Academy has significantly expanded our insights into the autistic community, enhancing our understanding and appreciation for this group.
In December 2022, we hosted a three-day Tech Club trial run event at the University of Florida during Winter Break.

In December 2022, we hosted a three-day Tech Club event at the University of Florida during Winter Break. It was a wonderful opportunity which allowed us to connect with families from various regions across Florida. Meeting autistic youth from the Gainesville area allowed us to gain valuable insights into their learning needs and interests. This event was a memorable experience for all involved.
