Looking for ways to celebrate Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month in ways that honor people with autism spectrum disorders? Here are a few suggestions. Get flappy with Julia and Abby from Sesame Street. Check out some new autistic YouTubers to follow. Focus on safety. Help families affected by autism take preventative action with this helpful kit. Attend, create, or volunteer at an event that is accepting of people with neurological differences. I’m a huge fan of The Friendship Journey and their Wings of Friendship Virtual Camp and Virtual Hangouts. Read autistic authors, like Alyssa Hillary Zisk, who also wrote a guest post here.

Learn more about what makes a narrative a social story or comic book conversation as opposed to something else by reviewing the guidelines for sentence types... [Read More...]

Octubre – Mes de la CAA Las personas sin habla tienen mucho que decir. Esta comunicación no será posible si no disponen de las herramientas y los aprendizajes para conseguirlo. La Comunicación Aumentativa y Alternativa (CAA) es la vía de acceso a una participación plena para muchas, muchas personas. ¿Es necesaria una campaña de concienciación y sensibilización?
