October is Autism Acceptance month in Canada. \"\"<\/span><\/h3>\n

Autism Acceptance month is a time to celebrate neurodiversity and increase our understanding of Autism. This helps to reduce the stigma and discrimination that Autistic people experience, and it empowers Autistic individuals to express themselves confidently.<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/em>In September 2024, the Public Health Agency of Canada published a new framework for Autism in Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of the Framework\u00a0for Autism in Canada (framework) is to promote the health and well-being of children, youth, adults and older adults on the autism spectrum, their advocates, families, and caregivers; and to provide a common direction for autism in Canada that lays the foundation for collaborative and complementary action to be taken by all sectors.\u00a0The framework was created in response to\u00a0the Federal Framework for Autism Spectrum Disorder Act<\/em>\u201d (Government of Canada, 2024).<\/p>\n

The SLPs at the Burnaby school district value the unique perspectives, strengths, and talents of Autistic individuals, their families\/caregivers, and the Autistic community.\u00a0 We are excited to celebrate Autism acceptance Month with you!
