School District honors individuals making positive impact on students with Autism at 13th Annual Autism Expo

Now sponsored by the Office of Special Education and Diverse Learners, the Autism Expo began through a conversation between one of the District's former Autism Support teachers, Ms. Mona Cohen, and the Office of Special Education to create a city-wide initiative with providers who specialize in resources for students with Autism. 

The District provides services to more than 3,700 District students with an autism diagnosis. "These students work tirelessly each and every day to overcome barriers and achieve academic success," said Superintendent Dr. Tony B. Watlington, Sr. "Today's expo is just one way the District works with students and their families to offer support and help create pathways for students on the autism spectrum."
