Ep86. The Empowering Autistic Scholars Mentoring & Research Training Program at Cal Poly
In this episode, Luna Nombrano Larsen comes onto the show to tell us about the Empowering Autistic Scholars (EAS) Mentoring & Research Training Program at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. We explore the deep need for belonging and that everyone needs a place where they are safe, seen, and appreciated for who they are. If you’ve ever questioned what accommodations are available in college (hint, it’s very limited) and what additional services or supports could be helpful for you or a college student you know, this episode may be for you.

WHO I AM:
I'm Dr. Gwen, a neurotypical psychologist who's been supporting the neurodiverse community for over 20 years. I'm laser-focused (and borderline obsessed) about empowering this community through reliable knowledge, creativity, and skill-building. I love curating and collecting tools, sharing mindsets, and promoting habits to help the neurodiverse community thrive and find joy and meaning in their lives.
