@autismcentre most recent Research Bulletin focuses on the important topic of Well-being and listening to autistic experiences to support better mental health. A good read. Resource: middletownautism.com/files/uploads/… #understandingautism #learngrowdevelop @CblayneyCollege

Situational Mutism is an involuntary response to anxiety. It's not selective. The person has no choice. We must be patient & offer alternative methods of communication to help. We're not enabling students by doing this. We are understanding and supporting. #AutismAwarenessMonth

This #autismawarenessday & everyday our aim in @CblayneyCollege is to go further than awareness & promote acceptance. Our aim is to appreciate & celebrate our students' & staff's differences & provide accomodations & supports that prevent them from sinking & help them thrive. 🌈

Functioning labels can be harmful to autistic people and are strongly discouraged by the autistic community. The infographics below explain the reasons why we should avoid using them. (Part 1) @CblayneyCollege #autismawareness #edchatie #specialeducation #AutismAcceptance

What an evening!! Thank you to our amazing performers and to all the staff members who made the event so magical. #CBC #community #excellenceineducation #festiveseason

Some of our students attended a trip to @DublinZoo this week. It was the perfect place to learn about the history of Dublin Zoo, conservation and endangered species & the role of the modern zoo tour. #activelearning #funlearning #endangeredspecies

Patrick showed great courage, attitude and spirit over the weekend and was rewarded with another bronze medal in the 16-17 Kumite. There's no stopping this boy. Well done Patrick. 👏🥉🥋 @CBC_SportforAll @CblayneyCollege

We sincerely appreciate the very generous donation by Martin & Mary Carr to #CBC to support the work of our Autism classes. As a school community we are incredibly grateful to the Carr family for supporting the invaluable work in our Autism Department. @CavMonETB @CBC_Autism
