Chiara Latimer is the Director of both the Autism PATH Program and the Center for Neurodiversity at Rowan University. This program is designed to support the transition of neurodiverse students from higher education into meaningful employment. In 2007, Chiara’s leadership in a mentoring program for differently abled, elementary school students led to her recognition as a finalist for the Jefferson Award for Public Service in the state of Delaware. This experience naturally guided Chiara’s career and academic goals towards supporting neurodiverse students and families. Chiara has dedicated 10 years of her career to supporting neurodiverse students in clinical and educational settings. Upon the completion of her masters in family therapy at Drexel University, Chiara focused on providing therapeutic services to individuals on the Autism Spectrum and their families through family therapy and the supervision of therapeutic support professionals.
From 2013- 2019, Chiara had the privilege of working as a family consultant at the Center for Autism in Philadelphia, PA. The Center for Autism is one of the oldest treatment agencies for individuals on the Autism Spectrum in the United States. As a family consultant, Chiara served as a liaison for the treatment team to the families and service providers supporting individuals in programming. As Chiara’s clients began to transition into secondary education, she became concerned with the needs of neurodiverse students upon entering higher education. In an effort to support families and individuals in the transition to adulthood, Chiara developed curriculum materials to provide education on the transition to higher education and promoted parent groups for parents to share their concerns and learn information to support their child through the lifespan. Chiara has assisted individuals with autism and their families through the transition into higher education and the development of skills for the workplace. She also piloted a Career and College Exploration curriculum which taught young adults self-advocacy techniques and strategies to adjust to residential life on a college campus.
As the chair of a parent resource group at the Center for Autism, Chiara began to connect with employers interested in supporting a neurodiverse workforce. In collaboration with the Ruttenberg Center and the LegoLand Discovery Center in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, Chiara created social stories and guidelines for parents of individuals with sensory sensitivities. These materials are utilized as a resource for sensory friendly events sponsored by the Plymouth Meeting location of LegoLand Discovery Center.
With the growth of neurodiverse students entering higher education, Chiara transitioned into higher education teaching as an adjunct faculty member for Camden County College’s Garden State Pathways Program teaching career development and self-advocacy skills. In 2018, Chiara began working as an Access Associate at the Community College of Philadelphia which provided the opportunity to assist in the implementation of academic accommodations and collaboration with students and faculty members. The desire to continue supporting the transition into adulthood for neurodivergent students led Chiara to Rowan University in March 2019 to become the first program coordinator for the Autism PATH Program. With a focus on career readiness and educating employers, Chiara continues to promote the importance of empathy and inclusion with a dual report to the Office of Career Advancement and Accessibility Services. She is currently completing her doctorate degree in Higher Education Leadership.
