World Autism Day is a global event celebrated on April 2nd every year to promote acceptance, support and the inclusion of autistic people as well as for the advocation of their rights.
Today, in support of World Autism Day, our schools will be participating in Bubbles for Autism.
Blowing Bubbles for Autism started 20 years ago in NJ with Kyle Mosca and his preschool class. Kyle, like many children both with and without autism, loved bubbles. Kyle's mother and founder of “FACES Autism Support Group,” a Family Support Network for families with children with autism (www.faces4autism.org), had the insightful idea to have Kyle blow bubbles with his preschool class so that they could participate in an enjoyable shared experience. It went over so well that others began to do the same and "Blowing Bubbles 4 Autism" was born.
Blowing Bubbles for Autism has grown exponentially every year with tens of thousands of people all over the world now participating! It is held every year in April, Autism Awareness month, fostering acceptance, a sense of community, and an awareness for the importance of celebrating diversity.
