Raise Awareness
Description : UNO students from Dr. Ritzman’s autism spectrum disorders class develop activities for a Fall Festival for children (preschool to school age) who are a part of the Autism Society of Nebraska. This project reinforces classroom curriculum for UNO students by practicing supports and knowledge about ASD and implementing them in the form of a Fall Festival. The festival benefits ASN by having a gathering for children and families to celebrate fall/Halloween that they may not be able to participate in the larger public. Public spaces and some school activities are not always catered towards individuals with autism, causing and overwhelming experience. The students make this environment friendly and safe for the families to participate.
