Participated in the fourth cohort for Student-Led Environments to Deliver Virtual Autism Supports for Wait-times (SLED-VAST), https://ipe.utoronto.ca/SLED-VAST. This is an interprofessional Student-Led Environment (SLE) at the University of Toronto, supported by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services’ Ontario Autism Program (OAP) Workforce Capacity Fund. My role was to inform the development of tools to support clinicians' early identification of autism in Northern Ontario. Specifically, I developed the tool format and user design, "Tiers of Support" section for parents, and neurodiversity affirmative and humanistic-healthcare-informed training for clinicians. The SLE curriculum was informed by principles of transformative education, specifically critical pedagogy, and we engaged in questions that fostered critical reflection, examining how norms (specifically around autism and autism practice) are constructed – and how these norms might be deconstructed. This work provided a lens to disrupt potentially harmful assumptions/norms in practice, and to reimagine more collaborative, compassionate ways of being and practicing. The SLED-VAST team, including students, was awarded the Ministry of Colleges and Universities’ 2021/2022 Minister's Awards of Excellence in the category of Future-Proofing Ontario’s Students. Out of 540 nominations, there were 22 winners across 5 categories. SLED-VAST was 1 of 5 winners in the Future-Proofing Ontario’s Students category, which recognizes faculty and staff who have led the way in adapting programs that support new ways of learning.
