I'm walking 7k steps a day this May to support Individuals with Autism
I’ve stepped up to Walk for Autism. Please show your support as I walk for Australians with autism and their families!
I have taught, and continue to teach, many primary-aged children with autism. While autism doesn’t define who they are or what they can achieve, without early diagnosis and access to supportive strategies and resources, these children can face significant challenges and risk falling behind.
Did you know that because the world is not autism-friendly, 70% of people with autism in Australia experience mental health issues.
That's why I'm walking 7k steps a day in May to fundraise for Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia). 7k steps is not a whole lot, but it is symbolic of that specific autism statistic.
Funds raised can help individuals with Autism and their families access earlier diagnosis, provide autism-specific pedagogy for children on the autism spectrum, support research and help create inclusive, autism-friendly environments.
Please support my Walk for Autism and donate now. Thank you so much!
