Creating a Compassionate Community
What does it mean to “create a compassionate community”? Do we have a compassionate community? How can we create one?
This topic was addressed on March 22, 2017 at the University of Toledo Carlson Library as part of a month-long series held to create awareness of autism in our community. This particular topic was addressed by three speakers, and the presentation is separated by speaker. Please take a moment to watch the presentation at the three links below.
