GLEANING INDUSTRY INFO & TRENDS
League School for Autism's Assistant Director of Education, Chrissy Bunnell, and Speech-Language Pathologist, Molly Allen Bowlby, returned from Seattle after attending the 2024 ASHA (The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) Convention. Their virtual poster presentation received a lot of interest and had several participants reaching out to discuss their project in more depth.
Chrissy and Molly were able to attend a multitude of informative sessions during their 3-day conference, including a number of presentations about how to move an organization forward with neurodiversity-affirming practices. They plan to share this information with League School for Autism colleagues in the new year. We can't wait!

League School for Autism turned into a Holiday Workshop on Friday when The Home Depot of Norwood brought DIY projects for students to assemble. Everyone had a great time learning how to use tools, connect the pieces together, and then paint their creation. The final results are some great holiday gifts for family or friends. A HUGE Thank You to the entire Home Depot team for another great student DIY project -- we appreciate you!

SING A SONG!
Yesterday's practice session for the League School for Autism Chorus was a packed house. The practice was led by League School for Autism's music teacher, Allie, and included students from all three of our programs (Foundations, Transitions, and Pathfinders). Students participated in singing a variety of holiday songs and everyone enjoyed the musical experience.
