Welcome educators! In the section below, you will find resources created by people in our DDSB community. The links ABOVE will take you to pages with terminology definitions, potential lesson ideas, and previous monthly tips.
This resource was created by the “In The Loop” Team: Kathryn Stesco, Kristin Wood, Leilah McBride and Jennifer De Melo, June 2023
While this resource is intended for use with ALL students based on the principles of Universal Design for Learning, please note Multi-modal communicators and Non-Speakers, including those from the Neurodivergent Infinity Network of Educators have been consulted to ensure their perspectives and life experience have been honoured.

The Neurodivergent Infinity Network of Educators (NINE), in partnership with the AUsome Carers’ Network, is pleased to present our “Actions for Autistic Acceptance”, a resource for use in schools and other learning communities.
This is a growing compilation of resources which have been vetted by, and in most cases created by those of us who are #ActuallyAutistic. While many of these resources will benefit stakeholders across varying disciplines, this collection has been compiled to support professional growth and foster allyship amongst employee groups in the educational sector because our work directly impacts the lives of students, their families and our communities for years to come.
