April was Autism Acceptance Month (AAM) and Curro Aurora was proud to promote awareness about this by holding a ‘Funky Socks Day’.
Curro Aurora’s Mageshree Tandree said that the month aimed to help create awareness to embrace differences and the importance of becoming more inclusive of individuals with autism.
“AAM aims to build acceptance in communities and schools for people on the autism spectrum. Our school engages in conversations, we learn about one another’s perspectives and, in doing so, we can individually become accepting, with the focus on leaving no one behind,” said Tandree.
On the funky socks day, learners wore multi-coloured socks, painted banners, and said speeches promoting awareness and acceptance to ignite change.
“You can play a role in the autism community by learning more about it and finding a resource you can use to help improve the lives of individuals on the spectrum and support their families,” she added.
