Acceptance and Understanding Presentations FOR SCHOOLS
ASNL is excited to re-open our classroom sessions for students—with a new model designed to make a lasting impact!
Step 1: school staff participate in ASNL’s Autism Acceptance and Understanding sessions either during professional learning days or staff meetings.
Step 2: Once staff complete Step 1, ASNL offers Peer Acceptance and Understanding. These sessions are engaging, age-appropriate and directly in classrooms.
This new model ensures students’ learning is reinforced by the knowledge, language, and practices modeled by teachers and staff.
