Want to make your school a more welcoming place for students with autism? Here are a few simple ways to foster inclusion:
✅ Be a Friend – A smile, a wave, or an invitation to play can make a big difference!
✅ Use Visuals – Picture schedules and visual cues help everyone understand routines.
✅ Give Extra Processing Time – Some kids need a little more time to respond—patience is key!
✅ Respect Boundaries – Every child communicates differently; follow their lead.
✅ Celebrate Differences – We all have unique strengths—let’s lift each other up!
Small actions can create a big impact. Let’s make our school a place where EVERYONE belongs! 💙✨ #InclusionMatters #AutismAwareness #KindnessCounts
