Autism as a Difference
Elementary School-Age Presentation Fee Schedule

Autism is a difference. Giving that difference a label in the classroom is the first step towards acceptance.

The interactive classroom presentation starts with a discussion of differences and what it means to stereotype, prejudge and accommodate others. Autism is introduced as a difference and the discussion continues using the book What Autism Means to Me by Caspian and Lynne Banki as a resource.

The 40 minute long presentation is done one classroom (appr 25 students) at a time. No electronic support is necessary.

$95.00 Includes a forty minute presentation, one copy of the resource What Autism Means to Me for the classroom, and snacks for the children (needed as part of the presentation). If it is the first time I have ever visited your school, an additional copy of What Autism Means to Me will be given to the school library.

$145.00 Doubled up classroom option includes a fifty minute presentation, two copies of the resource What Autism Means to Me for the teachers, and snacks for the children (needed as part of the presentation).
