"An amazing thing took place at Carmel High School’s graduation.
One of our students Jack Higgins was presented with his diploma. Jack graduated after 8 years. He is a wonderful member of our student community.
Jack has autism and with that comes sensory issues. At graduation the student body and several thousand individuals were asked to not clap or cheer so Jack could participate.
What followed was nothing short of a miracle.
We shot for the moon but instead reached the stars."
-Principal Lou Riolo

Det känns så självklart att alla ska få vara med på sin examen, oavsett vilka förutsättningar man har.

Vad har ni för erfarenheter? Har skolan sett till att du eller någon av dina nära och kära med autism ska kunna delta på skolavslutning eller studentexamen?
