Spring RCN Leadership Day has reached capacity! If you are registered and are no longer able to attend, we kindly ask that you let us know as soon as possible by emailing autismed@gvsu.edu. 

We are thrilled to welcome two team members to the START Project!

Stephanie Dyer is rejoining the team full-time as an Autism Education & Intervention Specialist. Avis Merry joined the START team in October 2024 as Project Lead for Events and Logistics. Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Avis and Stephanie! 

The Elementary and Secondary Peer to Peer Program Playbooks are available to the RCN at no cost. START will collect orders for both Playbooks through May 2025. Orders will ship out on a monthly basis

Order Elementary and Secondary Peer to Peer Program Playbooks here. Please contact Avis Merry if you have any questions.

→ We invite the RCN to distribute the START Training and Training Series Flyers to staff, community members, and families across your region. 

START also developed Training and Training Series Slides for use in presentations.
