#MOVETOINCLUDE

Awareness is good. Inclusion is better.

Over the years, tremendous strides have been made with Autism awareness, but now it is time to create a world where people understand, embrace and ultimately, engage. In April 2021, Learn Autism celebrated the individuals, businesses and organizations that demonstrate inclusion in order to give you ideas on how you can too. We hosted a live webinar with Dr. Stephen Shore, professor of special education who also happens to be autistic. He shared practical ways organizations can make small changes to make a big difference.

Autism awareness and inclusion shouldn’t stop at the end of April. Let’s keep it moving all year long.

You can be a big help. As an important member of the Autism community, your voice is vital. 

Here are 2 ways you can make a difference for Autism Inclusion:

  1. Share our campaign on your social media accounts (see our ‘Let’s Get Social’ section below).

  2. Use the hashtag #MOVETOINCLUDE when you post about Autism inclusion and awareness and tag @LearnAutismapp. While you’re at it, tag 3 friends to let them know!

Why #MOVETOINCLUDE?

Awareness is good, but we need to do more. We're creating a movement that celebrates, respects, appreciates and includes ALL people.
