League School for Autism
Founded in 1966, the League School for Autism has been empowering children and young adults with Autism for more than 50 years.
KALE CHIP CHALLENGE
How do you make kale chips taste good? League School for Autism Culinary students recently made kale chips using kale grown by their hydroponic system. Hydroponics is a soilless cultivation method that grows plants in nutrient-rich water with artificial lighting. Students can now grow certain plants, like kale, indoors year-round. That's all the motivation they needed to make their kale chips taste delicious!

AUTISM EMPOWERMENT MONTH
Autism is not a diagnosis for only young children. Autism is a lifelong condition. It's never too early to help students think about what they want their life and future to look like. All month long, Lindsay Thelin-Wagner, Director of Neurodiversity & Community Inclusion, will be sharing posts and insights related to Autism Empowerment Month at League School for Autism. Stay tuned for more empowering information.

WORKING WITH PURPOSE
Carlie is one of our newer League School students, who has been trying on various jobs around campus. Here she is working at the Hawk's Nest, our school store. She practiced stocking shelves, waited on customers, and counted out plastic cutlery for classrooms. She is doing great and you can tell by her smile that she loves working!
