Gullah Swim Academy

📣 Meet the speakers for the 2026 Autism in Black® Couples, Co-Parenting, & Caregivers Summit! ⁠
⁠
We are bringing together voices with lived experience, professional expertise, and community wisdom to speak into the realities of caregiving, communication, co-parenting, advocacy, burnout, family systems, and collective care.⁠
⁠
This year’s theme is Rooted in Us: Building Connection and Strength because supporting Black autistic children and adults requires more than one person carrying it all alone.⁠
⁠
Join us virtually July 24–26, 2026 for conversations created for couples, co-parents, caregivers, grandparents, chosen family, professionals, and the village surrounding Black autistic families.⁠
⁠
General access is FREE.⁠
