Write a commentSeveral Oswego City School District employees across all departments recently wore blue on April 2, in recognition of World Autism Day.
As the district continuously seeks to be a community that accepts and appreciates diversity, its staff members remain committed to treat all with respect. Throughout the district, inclusivity is promoted, encouraged and a part of teaching and learning every day. Joined by the international communities around the world, the OCSD employees wore light blue in recognition of people living with autism. Autism-friendly events and educational activities are scheduled in the greater Oswego community throughout the month of April to help increase Autism-related understanding, acceptance and to foster worldwide support.
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.
