WORLD AUTISM DAY

Accepting, Understanding, and Including Learners with Autism.


On this day, April 02, 2024, it is our pleasure as the Kabojja International School community to join the rest of the world to celebrate Individuals with Autism. We applaud our parents, teachers, and other members of the Kabojja Community who have embraced and continually include learners who are on the Autism Spectrum. 


Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that has an impact on an individual’s communication, social interaction, sensory experience, and behavior. It is characterized by a wide range of symptoms and behaviors that vary from one individual to another. Some people with autism have been reported to have outstanding skills and abilities like exceptional memory, attention to detail, creativity, and a strong sense of logic. No two learners with autism are the same and our approach as a school is to provide individualized services that meet the unique needs of each child. 


Some of the early warning signs  to look out for may include but are not limited to: 

  • Developmental delays.
  • Loss of previously achieved milestones (speech, pointing, toileting skills).
  • Little or no eye contact.
  • Showing more interest in objects than people.
  • Intense reactions to minor changes in the environment
  • Repetitive behaviors, movements, and play patterns.
  • No response to name
  • Rigidity (Insistence on having things done the same way).


Research has shown that early detection is the first step towards providing timely support and resources that enable individuals with autism to thrive and reach their full potential. Early intervention programs, special education strategies, and therapeutic interventions do make a significant difference in the lives of our children and the evidence has made it abundantly clear that with the right support, children with autism can learn.


As we commemorate World Autism Day, we reaffirm our commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where individuals with autism have the opportunity to thrive and lead fulfilling lives.
