SPOTLIGHT
League School for Autism
Founded in 1966, the League School for Autism has been empowering children and young adults with Autism for more than 50 years.
HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?
During the month of April, you can view our League School Autism Empowerment Month billboards near the intersection of Route 1 and Route 27 in Walpole (across from the Big Y Shopping Center). We continue to promote Autism Empowerment to promote that beyond autism awareness and acceptance, there is autism empowerment.
Our billboard was even mentioned by Legislator of the Year, Senator Paul Feeney, during Wednesday's Autism Advocacy Day at the State House. Here is an image from the billboard webcam.
NON-SPEAKING DOES NOT MEAN NON-THINKING
Around 25-30 percent of children with Autism are minimally verbal or do not use natural speech. This does not mean that the child cannot learn, understand, or communicate. Watch Jordyn Zimmerman, a non-speaking educator and disability advocate, share her thoughts: youtu.be/mTECNar9yG4?si=aiCaZVdG7D3uHI7V
During the month of April, Lindsay Thelin-Wagner, Director of Neurodiversity & Community Inclusion at League School for Autism, will share empowering information related to Autism Empowerment Month.
KALE CHIP CHALLENGE
How do you make kale chips taste good? League School for Autism Culinary students recently made kale chips using kale grown by their hydroponic system. Hydroponics is a soilless cultivation method that grows plants in nutrient-rich water with artificial lighting. Students can now grow certain plants, like kale, indoors year-round. That's all the motivation they needed to make their kale chips taste delicious!

AUTISM EMPOWERMENT MONTH
Autism is not a diagnosis for only young children. Autism is a lifelong condition. It's never too early to help students think about what they want their life and future to look like. All month long, Lindsay Thelin-Wagner, Director of Neurodiversity & Community Inclusion, will be sharing posts and insights related to Autism Empowerment Month at League School for Autism. Stay tuned for more empowering information.
