As we finish up our Brain Study, we invited Ms. Washburn, one of the Autism teachers here at DGS, to come teach us about Autism. We learned that Autism is something that some people are born with- it's something that makes your brain a little different. We learned that just like everyone else, people with autism have smarts they are proud of and smarts they are working on- they may just be different from those that we are working on.
After showing us a quick video explaining what autism is, Ms. Washburn showed us a few of the tools that her students use in the classroom. We got to see the picture charts some of her students use to communicate, a fidget toy that help students keep their hands to themselves, noise-canceling headphones, and weighted compression vests.
Curious about the video? It's posted below the pictures.
