We are incredibly proud of our Neurodiversity and Advocacy Partner, Katelyn, for testifying in Annapolis in support of legislation that helps protect continuity of services for the people we serve.

By sharing her expertise and speaking directly with lawmakers, Katelyn helped highlight the real-world impact that waiver disenrollment can have on autistic adults and others who rely on these essential supports.

Her leadership and advocacy help ensure our clients’ voices are heard where it matters most, so the services they depend on remain stable and accessible. We’re grateful for the passion and courage she brings to this work every day.

Itineris was honored to participate in the Empathy Fair at Maryvale Preparatory School. Events like this create meaningful opportunities for students to build understanding, compassion, and awareness for experiences different from their own.

At the Itineris table, students were invited to reflect on their understanding of Autism and what that diagnosis might mean for someone’s everyday experiences. They then watched a short clip, “Carly’s Café,” which offers a first-person perspective of some of the sensory and communication challenges individuals with Autism may face.

Following the video, students shared thoughtful reflections. Many expressed empathy for the overwhelming sensory experiences portrayed, as well as concern about how difficult it was for Carly to communicate and be understood. It was encouraging to hear students talk about the importance of patience, listening, and creating space for everyone to be heard.

We are grateful to Maryvale for inviting Itineris to be part of such an impactful event, and to Julie Lewis, board member and Itineris parent, who connected us. The students’ openness and curiosity were inspiring, and it was wonderful to see young people leaving the experience feeling empowered to show greater grace, patience, and understanding toward individuals with both visible and invisible differences.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we proudly recognize two trailblazers whose work uplifts Black autistic and neurodivergent communities:

At just 25 years old, Armani Williams has already made history in NASCAR. As a professional driver and autistic self-advocate, he pushes the limits of endurance each time he races. Armani knew at just eight years old that he wanted to pursue this career—and by living out that dream, he shows young people of color and autistic individuals that their goals are valid, possible, and worth chasing.

We also honor Jen White-Johnson, a celebrated Afro-Latina artist, graphic designer, and activist from Maryland. Her work spans major platforms and collaborations with companies like Nike and Adobe. One of her most powerful bodies of work centers her autistic son, Knox, whose presence and creative contributions in mixed media pieces expand visibility for autistic people of color. Through art activism and disability justice advocacy, Jen continues to educate and inspire audiences nationwide.

As Black History Month comes to a close, we honor those breaking barriers every day, whether nationally recognized or leading change within their local communities. Through their advocacy for racial equity and disability justice, we move closer to a world where Black autistic and neurodivergent individuals are seen, valued, and empowered.

Thanks to our Training & Engagement Department, Itineris clients enjoyed an exclusive tour of M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens. Throughout the visit, clients impressed the guides by answering every question about the Ravens and their players, both past and present. Some even had the exciting opportunity to test out the instant replay device in the command center.

Our knowledgeable guides gave us access to the newly opened Blackwing executive suites, the locker rooms, and even allowed us to stand right on the sidelines of the field!

It was a truly special day for many devoted members of the Ravens flock, and we are incredibly grateful for the community partnerships that help Itineris clients create meaningful memories.

The Itineris Professional Development Day was a resounding success!

Throughout the day, staff participated in engaging trainings led by both Itineris leaders and outstanding guest presenters, including Erin Moran, Dr. Zosia Zaks, and James Olmstead of Autism On the Go.

Sessions explored workplace culture and leadership, safety, task analysis, and other key topics impacting the autism and disability community. One highlight of the day was a powerful panel of autistic professionals who addressed thoughtful questions such as: “What can neurotypical people do to become better advocates for autistic individuals?”

Thank you to all of our speakers and panelists for sharing your expertise and time. Your contributions made the day meaningful and impactful as we continue strengthening Itineris together!
