Autism Awareness Day 2021 #WorldAutismAwarenessDay
April is Autism Awareness month and today is World Autism Awareness Day. We strive to be inclusive and help put the word out there whenever possible.
In 2015, Sesame Street introduced Julia. Since then, they have provided a variety of resources and activities.
The Autism Helper has great resources for awareness and acceptance:
April is Autism Acceptance Month. Although raising awareness and providing a safe environment for our students to be accepted is something we strive to do all year, this month gives us an added prompt. A prompt to share the good, share the victories, share the accomplishments, and share the baby steps. As an educator, clinician, parent, or autistic individual, you are part of this community. Take April as a prompt to share with those that are not part of this community. Share with them why acceptance is important. Share with them how acceptance can cause meaningful change. Change that can make the lives better for individuals on the spectrum. Change that could lead to one less child being bullied, one less parent getting the side eye during a challenging outing with their child, or one less teacher having to advocate for accommodations that should already be given.
