The all-purpose room at Abbey Lane Elementary School in the Levittown School District was transformed into a sensory-friendly space with a bevy of activities on Thursday, April 24, in celebration of Autism Acceptance Month.

ABA classes linked with their classmates to complete crafts as a group and exchange ice-breaker questions.

A wide range of activities included building with blocks, riding on scooters, and exploring a maze of tunnels. Before the event, students prepared a banner filled with their handprints and the motto, “Be kind to all minds.”

The sensory-friendly event reinforced Abbey Lane’s culture of acceptance and inclusion between all community members.
