Autism Acceptance Month

Written By Carolyn Kouri

The month of April is Autism Acceptance Month and includes observances to highlight the increasing number of individuals identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the impacts on families and support services. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the unique perspectives of those living with ASD.

Students, staff, and families are encouraged to show their support for autism awareness this Thursday by wearing autism awareness shirts and ribbons. Additionally, we will share information about autism with students during Period 6 on Thursday.
