World Autism Awareness Week

**FREE WEBINAR DISCUSSION ON AUTISM – STAN GODEK – REGISTER YOUR INTEREST TODAY**

 

It’s World Autism Awareness Week next week – 29th March – 4th April and to mark the occasion Edmund Rice College in Glengormley have some exciting news and opportunities to offer you from our ERC online community hub.

 

The coronavirus pandemic has been particularly tough for many autistic people and their families. Services have closed and many people have been left stranded. The ever-changing guidelines and restrictions can be confusing to understand and extremely difficult to implement for autistic people with high support needs. We are delighted to present you with an online event for our school and wider community next week to help raise awareness and generate much needed support. Further details to follow on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/edmundricecollege/

 

As part of our online events next week, we are excited to bring you a Live webinar with Stan Godek. Come and join Miss Deery on Wednesday 31st March at 6:30pm as she meets with Stan and raises some Frequently Asked Questions/Issues to discuss and learn from his experience and expertise.
