My Project

Many students in our school are on the Autism Spectrum but this does not define them. We love to celebrate their unique talents during Autism Awareness Month, April. We all show our support for our students by engaging in school wide and classroom specific activities.

My goal is to provide students with materials such as necklaces and pencils.

that will help them understand they are special and unique in their own way as well as let them know they are supported by everyone around them!

My students love to participate in all kinds of activities, just like any other kid. They are not defined by their disability!
