Winslow Elementary School celebrates Autism Awareness month

Winslow Elementary School promotes Autism Awareness month. Thirteen years after its inception, the school’s program serves students who participate in social groups to help them develop social skills. The autism program also has a sensory room, allowing students to take breaks. The room is used by many students enrolled at WES, not just those in the autism program.
