What You'll Learn

By purchasing the course, you'll be equipped with empathy-building exercises to create a culture of acceptance in a neurodiverse classroom. Creating connection amongst learners reduces disability harassment, and we know that bullying of autistic students is a persistent problem without peer training.

Good Friend, Inc.'s middle school curriculum is intended for students aged 11-14 years. Please note that because one of the students in the film refers indirectly to suicidal ideation from 17:54-18:49, some content might not be suitable for children under age 12.

Provide a deeper understanding of how students on the spectrum are wired differently but want the same friendships/relationships.
Explain what autism is (and isn't) using positive, accurate language.
Develop a culture of mutual respect where everyone feels like they belong and help students take next steps toward meaningful inclusion of all learners.

I reached out to Chelsea for advice on how to host a diversity awareness panel at our organization as part of our ongoing DEI efforts. She gave wonderful insight on approaching participants and questions to use in leading the discussion. She was incredibly positive and helpful. I am incredibly appreciative of her pointing us in the right direction. We are very much looking forward to our event!
