For over three years, Child Development Center (CDC) has been at the forefront of outreach for special needs children including inclusion in mainstream nurseries and schools, and professional development training for educators on topics related to early education, special needs, and inclusion. In 2015/2016 our autism awareness initiative for students included a very successful essay contest. In addition, we have had a number of student volunteers ranging from high school students to graduate program students.
The Autism Superheroes campaign is a Welsh initiative to raise awareness of autism and special needs among students in a mainstream primary/elementary school (ages 6-11). The storybook is available as a free download or online.
Share this wonderful resource with your students and sign the pledge to become an Autism Superhero!
