Traditional autism awareness programs focus on WHAT autism is and HOW people with autism behave. Our programs explain WHY people with autism act the way they do. 
What's Different About Our Educational Programs
Unique
Participants perform simulation exercises to experience first hand how annoying sensory issues can be. The exercises replicate how people with autism hear, see and feel the world around them.The live presentations utilize more sophisticated simulation equipment to imitate the combined effect of auditory, visual and vestibular processing disorders.
Interactive
Informative
Our programs explain why people with autism frequently stim, have meltdowns, walk away from others for no apparent reason or find it hard to have a conversation with others. They also explain how sensory processing issues make life difficult for these individuals and how they find it hard to understand idioms, sarcasm and some jokes. The importance of routines to individuals with autism is also mentioned and how changes to those routines can be upsetting.
