World Autism Awareness Day Celebrated at KiiT International School
KiiT International School, under its ‘Sen Globe’ initiative, marked World Autism Awareness Day today with a series of events aimed at shedding light on autism and advocating for the acceptance and support of individuals with autism. The programme was graced by the President of KiiT and KISS Saswati Bal, Chairperson of the Odisha Skill Development Authority Alaka Mishra, and Mohammad Nadeem Noor from UNFPA Odisha.
In her speech, Mishra emphasized that autism should not be seen as a disability but rather a different ability. She highlighted the need for developing skills in children with autism to enable them to be as capable as their peers without autism. Mrs. Mishra stressed the importance of providing these children with various life skills training to harness their unique capabilities.
