Happy Autism Awareness Day!
April is Autism Awareness month, and April 2nd is Autism Awareness Day. I have had the privilege to work with several students with autism in my short time as a classroom teacher and a school counselor. I wanted to share a few things that I have learned from my experiences.
1. Children with Autism have such great potential. It is important for us to understand this when working to help students with Autism. We need to advocate for these students that struggle advocating for themselves.
2. Every child is unique, this includes children with Autism. Every case is different; therefore, we need to look at each child individually in order to help him or her to the best of our ability. Every child is special in their own way.
3. Education is key! It is our job to educate others about characteristics of Autism. This includes our other students, parents, school faculty and staff. Below are a few books that are helpful when educating other children about Autism.
