At Access Speech, we believe in teaching, supporting, and celebrating the whole child- autism inluded. All children deserve a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment that celebrates their strengths and supports their unique learning and communication styles.
Our Autism Included initiative supports autistic students in inclusive early childhood settings. We provide educator and professional development trainings, augmantative and alternative communication (AAC) for students, and educational opportunities in which neurodiverse students can find success in learning. Created by autistic and neurodiverse speech-language pathologists and educators, Autistm Included is a truly neurodiversity-positive approach to inclusion, communication, and learning.
Help us raise funds for our Autism Included summer camp! We are hosting a summer camp for autistic kids and their families to connect, learn about different learning and communication styles, connect with one another and have fun!!
Autism Included aims to understand autistic communication and learning styles, make connections, and find joy in learning- autism included!
