You may have seen Elizabeth’s Rollins College Valedictorian Commencement Address in the news or on social media when it went viral with over 4 billion impressions worldwide in May 2022.
Communication and education are the keys to empowering non-speakers to live meaningful lives.
C4A grew out of the experiences of our executive director Elizabeth Bonker, who is affected by autism and types to communicate. A poet, lyricist, and co-author of I Am In Here, Elizabeth has been advocating for the rights of individuals with autism for more than a decade. In May 2022, Elizabeth graduated from Rollins College, and her valedictorian commencement address went viral with 4 billion media impressions worldwide, propelling her mission. Today, Elizabeth presents at major events around the world and works for systemic change for nonspeakers with autism.
Stories shape our world. Below see how Elizabeth is using diverse media—and the power of creative self-expression—to share her story, nurture awareness, and inspire action.
