Show your support for Norfolk Autism Acceptance Week

Norfolk Autism Acceptance Week is back from 2 April to 8 April 2024! This aligns with World Autism Acceptance Week which aims to increase awareness and acceptance of autism, helping to build a more inclusive world.

As Norfolk Autism Acceptance Week falls in the Easter holidays this year, educational settings are being encouraged to take part from 18 March, which neatly coincides with Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

There are teaching resources, training and activities published on the Norfolk Schools and Learning Providers website to help you get involved. New for 2024, Norfolk Music Hub are inviting settings to learn the song 'Let Me Shine' and share their performances.

There's also lots of autism-friendly events going on across Norfolk for families to enjoy in the first week of the Easter holidays, as well as a keynote speaker and activities to raise awareness and increase acceptance of autism. Support and guidance are also available, so please do signpost any families you work with to this information on the Local Offer.

Please share the poster with staff in your settings and with families who may be interested in what's on offer.
