Autism Awareness Week took place on the 24th to the 28th of April in Morning Star N.S.
The school held a number of events for pupils, parents and staff to raise awareness. It was a great success. Thank you to everyone who got involved!
During Autism Week the students learned a lot about Autism - Lámh signs, they watched a video showing our similarities and differences, they attended an ASD themed Assembly,they listened to Mrs.Fitzgerald speaking about what the children with ASD do everyday and they integrated into the ASD classes. The boys formed new relationships and learned more about their similarities.
John Arundel (Mr.Reid 3rd Class) wrote the following piece on what he learned during Autism Week.
"Autism is a very common condition. A lot of people do not fully understand what it means to have Autism.
There are loads of different types of Autism from Mild to Moderate. It is important for people with autism to have lots of coping strategies. We must be patient with them.
They behave differently to us but they are the same as us. They could lash out or have a tantrum but this is how they cope in stressful situations. They can be sensitive to light, sound, smell or touch. They might even find eye to eye contact difficult." - John Arundel April 2017
