One of the things that we think is especially important about our friends with Autism, is that they, like every other child, knows they are unique and special just for being who they are! The ASD diagnosis isn’t the only thing that defines them, and we think they should celebrate themselves as is! SO we took a week to do just that and teach about basic human anatomy along the way. So for our final week, it is dedicated to learning “all about me”!
