Stand By Me:
Peer Awareness and Acceptance
A lifetime of understanding starts in school. Peers want to know how to be
helpful, how to engage a child with autism and how to help that child respond
back to them. With understanding comes a sense of ownership, where children
view their classmate with autism as one of their own. (AO Niagara)
