Jun 9, 2022, Aberdeen City: Autism Acceptance Week poster competition winners announced https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/news/autism-acceptance-week-poster-competition-winners-announced
A poster competition has been held throughout Aberdeen City Primary Schools as part of this year’s Autism Acceptance Week. ...
Autism Acceptance Week took place in the last week of April and schools were encouraged to create posters that celebrated individual strengths and to bust common myths about autism. ...
The prizes for the three winners included a whole-class sensory fidget box and books to further support and educate about autism.
All participating schools received a certificate to celebrate their engagement during Autism Acceptance Week. ...
“All of us can learn from the posters because they remind us that every single individual is valued. I am grateful to everyone who was involved in this project. It would be good to see more of these kinds of exercises led by pupils and for the benefit all in our city.”...
“It’s wonderful to have seen so many schools across the city take part in this competition and hopefully we can continue this work again next year.”
Felicity Goodhall, one of the competition judges, said: "I was thrilled to judge such a meaningful competition, and see the amazing effort all the children had put in to promoting autistic acceptance. As an autistic person myself, the biggest challenge was narrowing it down to the final entries!"
