BREAKING NEWS! Students in Pennsylvania who are eligible under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) may now access a Free and Appropriate Education (FAPE) until their 22nd birthday. This means that if a student would have traditionally finished high school during or after the school year that they turned 21 years old, they may now remain until they are 22 years old. This includes students that exited school last year in the 2022-2023 school term.

Especially during the holidays. It's okay if someone with autism chooses not to participate in traditional activities. It's okay to not want turkey, or to sit at the Thanksgiving table. These times can be extra overwhelming & triggering. Keep it patient, kind & flexible.
