Autism Awareness Month

Autism Awareness Month!

April is Autism Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the strengths, talents, and unique perspectives of our students. At Anova, we believe in fostering understanding, acceptance, and inclusion every day. Family and friends can show their support during Autism Awareness Month by celebrating and advocating for the incredible students at Anova. Donations to our school help provide specialized programs, resources, and opportunities that empower our students to reach their full potential. You can also get involved by attending school events, volunteering your time, or spreading awareness about the importance of autism acceptance. Encouraging inclusive play, supporting autistic voices, and fostering understanding in your community make a meaningful impact. Together, we can create a world where every child is valued, supported, and given the tools to succeed!
