WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY – 2nd APRIL 2020

WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY – 2nd APRIL 2020

Today is World Autism Awareness Day and unfortunately this year we aren’t able to mark the occasion in person with our wonderful ASD community in Edmund Rice College.

We send our best wishes out to you and your families today; particularly those of you who have been unable to complete our Autism Youth Club programme which was due to come to its conclusion this week. We promise to do our best to have it up and running and even BIGGE...R and better next year.

We know this could be an incredibly difficult time for some of our pupils and their families. To offer our support and solidarity we have included some useful links to helpful advice and resources below, as well as a fantastic resource pack from the EA Autism Advisory service posted earlier this week.

Please also know that parents, carers and students themselves can contact Miss Deery on info@edmundricecollege.co.uk to discuss any concerns you may have or arrange a phone call for a supportive chat. You are not alone.

We would like to give a huge shout out to all of the amazing children and families we are blessed to work with – today is for you! #worldautismawarenessday
