Episode 224: 3 Ways to Celebrate Autism ...

Sasha Long, M.A., BCBA
About this episode

April is Autism Acceptance Month. This month is a great prompt to level up our initiatives to promote autism awareness and acceptance. In this episode, I share 3 strategies for celebrating autism acceptance. Teaching lessons and facilitating discussions in your school community with general education students is a great way to promote change at a local level. Setting up a fundraiser for a local non-profit is also a good option for this month. The last strategy is to create opportunities for meaningful friendships through increased inclusion activities or events.
