After his passing in 2021, AutismTN partnered with the Miller family to create the Captain Spectrum Be Kind Scholarship, which supports post-secondary education for autistic students who lead with kindness, stand against bullying, and build inclusive communities.

Inspiring speakers sharing personal stories, legacy of the Captain Spectrum scholarship, and tools to combat bullying
Resource booths featuring local school programs and community partners
