Raising Awareness

Building a school with an authentic inclusion vision is a difficult task.  It is a state of mind, a focus, and a purpose we have a build together as a community.  It starts with awareness and understanding and moves to building opportunities for different experiences together. I stumbled upon these resources on Teachers with Apps and I really wanted to share.  

One resource is an app called Autism Discovery Tool it promotes not only understanding, but also ways to help address an individual’s needs, and gives kids and adults a chance to “walk a mile in someone’s shoes”.  

The next comes from Bluebee TeeVee and Geek Books.  It is a series of short videos from 2 individuals with ASD and are full of information to help bring awareness and understanding to kids and adults.  

Autism Awareness isn't something we talk about or celebrate in April, but a focus we need to take everyday.
