AUTISM AWARNESS

World Autism Awareness Day – April 2, 2021

Students with autism have unique needs and strengths!

What is Autism?

Autism is the term given to the developmental disorder that affects a person’s ability to socially interact and communicate effectively.

People with autism often feel like it is a part of their being. It is an important part of who they are as a person because it affects how they live their lives every day. “

“I miss what others catch, and i catch what others miss” - Manzil students

“I wouldn't change you for the world, but i would change the world for you.” - Manzil Parents

“If they cant learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn” - Manzil educators

25% of the Manzil graduates with Autism are gainfully employed

The international community, hundreds of thousands of landmarks, buildings, homes and communities around the world come together on April 2, to Light It Up Blue in recognition of people with autism and those who love and support them.
