Autism and inclusion in the Jewish community
Language: English
Session: Autism affects many people in the Jewish Population. Understanding more about it would help those on the autistic spectrum and and their families to become more included in schools, shulls and the outside world in general.
This session provides an introduction to autism, for those families struggling with autism and people who want to make this world a more inclusive one.
