Autism Acceptance Festival
DCU, NCI and ATU Sligo are, respectively, the first, second and third HEIs in Ireland to receive AsIAm designation as Autism Friendly HEIs. In 2024, CCT and DkIT both received their designations. NCAD are continuing the work in preparation for application.
In 2026, we six higher education institutes are proud to work together again to host the Autism Acceptance Festival. Now in it's 5th year, the festival hosts a series of public-facing events that centre autistic people and promote autism acceptance.
