Free Webinar: From Personal to Powerful: How Parents Are Changing Autism Innovation

A fireside chat hosted by Multiple, co-moderated by The Savants

What happens when lived experience drives innovation? This question took center stage in From Personal to Powerful: How Parents Are Changing Autism Innovation, a recent webinar hosted by Multiple and co-moderated by our founder, Kathryn Morris.

The conversation featured Kathryn alongside two other parent-leaders:
— Dan Feshbach, founder of TeachTown and Multiple, who’s accelerating autism-centered tech through venture support and startup growth
— Neda Amidi, President of Plug and Play, who brings global insight to advocacy and innovation across sectors

Together, they explored how parenthood can become a powerful catalyst for systems-level change—whether in education, healthcare, technology, or representation.

“Entrepreneurship isn’t just business—it’s personal.”

Throughout the discussion, all three panelists shared how their own journeys as parents of autistic individuals have shaped the way they identify real needs, build solutions, and rethink what inclusive innovation can look like.

Why It Matters

Parents are often the first to spot the gaps—and the first to build the bridges. From overlooked access points to tools that actually work in real life, this conversation highlighted the overlooked power of parent-led innovation in autism spaces.
