1 in every 54 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, a lifelong developmental disability with a vast range of severities affecting communication, social skills, and intellectual abilities. in 1972, Autism Society first launched the concept of Autism Acceptance Month (AAM) to spread awareness, promote acceptance and ignite changes. Society thriving with an inclusion and acceptance comes from constant education and awareness.

Please take 3 minutes to learn more about Autism today and be the change our community needs!

To celebrate April 2, Autism Awareness Day, we invited two families with children with autism to have a collaborative art project. Aiden and Connor helped painting a set of wings on KASEC’s office wall, and their sisters Lauren and Kirsten also joined to create the wings. This April, join us to give our students beautiful wings to fly!
“It was a meaningful project bringing friends and family together. My son is very proud of his contribution and it was a great opportunity to learn teamwork as well.”
-Karen Moon, Connor’s mom

It has been a year since the world shut down with the pandemic. In order to meet our community where they are, we conducted a parent survey on the newfound needs and the impact of COVID. We will put our best effort to always stay aware of the needs of our community and serve them.
