BRIDGING VOICES: AI FUTURES IN CREATIVE WORK
Bridging Voices uses AI-augmented, arts-based learning to equip educators and families of autistic students to build inclusive pathways from K-12 into emerging, AI-shaped creative workplaces.
Bridging Voices is an AI-enabled, afterschool arts-based learning and workforce-readiness ecosystem for autistic youth and their families. It combines evidence-based behavioral strategies, universal design for learning, and structured teaching with AI tools for creative production, self-advocacy, and career exploration in rapidly evolving digital and creative industries. Over three years, the cognitive apprenticeship model develops educator capacity, empowers families as advocates and peer leaders, and forges durable community partnerships that can be replicated nationally.
