Across the Desk Podcast Series

Since 2020, we partnered with Spero Careers Canada and the podcast Across the Desk to bring you a series which highlights the work of Autism Alliance of Canada and those who work with us. Each podcast is approximately one hour long and is a conversation style interview. We cover topics such as the National Autism Strategy, autism and employment, housing, and much more.
