About:
Miller Avenue School students participated in a number of Autism Awareness activities throughout the week of April 3 as part of Autism Awareness month. The week kicked-off with the Shoreham-Wading River students meeting with Shoreham-Wading River High School freshman Frankie Fontinell and his mother, who wrote a book about their experiences of living with Autism. Students also took part in a number of hands-on activities during their gym classes that simulated what its like to have Autism, including trying to read a book with loud noises in their headphones.
