In recognition of Autism Awareness Month and with the assistance of parents and SEPTA, the Wading River School held assemblies aimed at educating students about autism.

Erin Wills, Melissa Levonick, Jenilym Smith and Danielle Algiere, four mothers who are also teachers, spoke during the programs about how their individual families live with autism. Students also watched a PowerPoint presentation, which included student interaction and an overview of autism.
