![]() ![]() Sometimes we get so wrapped up in teaching our students social skills, we miss the opportunity to teach social skills to the general education population. One of the things I’ve found most successful and impactful is to educate the student population on autism and how to be a friend to autistic students. ![]() It’s our job as educators to help break the cycle of exclusion. Don’t fall silent and believe nothing can be done to change the way your students are treated. Your students have a right to be included – it’s the law. First, let me say that it breaks my heart to hear so many stories of special education classes being excluded. A few months back I did a post on what to do if your class is excluded. However, this month is a perfect time to get started advocating for your students and educating your school’s population about autism. I’m a firm believer that autism acceptance is a year round adventure. April is Autism Acceptance month, and the world celebrates those with autism on April 2nd. ![]()
