World Autism Awareness Day
Tuesday 2 April 2024

Inclusion is a key feature of Emanuel School. We seek to provide appropriate adjustments to ensure students have access to participate in education on the same basis as others. Our starting point is understanding each student’s individual needs.

What is Autism

Watch this short introduction to What is Autism here.

If you would like to participate in World Autism Day, check out the Aspect website for ideas. Aspect is a service provider to the autistic community.

Autism Awareness Australia is another group whose aim is to help improve the lives of autistic people in our community. They too provide resources to help us gain awareness. 

There will be some activities at Emanuel School next week to help all of us better understand the different ways people function and how we can be compassionate and caring in our approach to them. Look out for reports in Ma Nishma next week from Primary and High School.
