General Educators' classes are mixed with students of all learning abilities. Yet most teachers have not had more than a single class about autism and special needs students. This course is the first of three classes on autism, how to recognize it, common learning disabilities, behavior understanding and modification, teaching strategies, and helpful tools.


Part 2 will be held in November and part 3 in January 2024. The course is free , includes food and course materials. Registration is required. Call 301-367-1042 to register now. Space is limited so don't wait.

Autism Awareness Month – Proclamations
22 Mar, 2021
We are reaching out to multiple counties and states to help proclaim April the Autism Awareness month. We are also encouraging businesses and governments to choose a Wear Blue Day. We have received multiple acknowledgements and participations in Maryland. AFYI is thrilled that much of Maryland is sensitive, supportive, and anxious to participate to bring more awareness to the Autism Community and how our communities can level the ground for them through training, acceptance, and community action. If you want to participate in Wear Blue Day or want your city or county or State to participate, please email me at Joy@autismfyi.org. Follow this link to see the proclamations .
