Keys School in Parktown draws attention to autism

With April being Autism Awareness Month, Key School in Parktown plans to create awareness and empower autistic children throughout the month.

Every April, the world works together to build an inclusive community where autistic individuals are embraced.

Driven by the fact that autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the world, SA along with many other countries celebrate Autism Acceptance Month (April). In 2021, Autism Awareness Month was renamed Autism Acceptance Month to foster acceptance and ignite change.

Autism spectrum disorder is a severe developmental disorder that harms one’s ability to communicate and interact.

The Key School deeply understands the need to foster awareness and acceptance to ignite change and a healthier lifestyle through improved opportunities for people with autism. It works every day to improve the lives of affected children and their families. With the autism diagnosis rate increasing fast, we take these 30 days to celebrate the differences of-, learn more about-, and empower autistic children.
