Good Friend

To create autism awareness, teach acceptance of differences and foster empathy for individuals on the sutism spectrum, we use our original short films and documentary and proprietary curriculum to establish a culture of acceptance in schools, workplaces and the community.

Good Friend Academy: Online program that includes three courses for educators- one for those working with 5-8 year old, one for 8-11 year old, and one for 11-14 year old. Each have all the multimedia tools educators need to provide Autism awareness, acceptance and empathy training to k-8th grade students. This enables any educator anywhere (with internet access) to help students be more inclusive of their peers with brain-based differences.

Sibshops: Sibshops engage participants who have siblings with brain-based disabilities, such as Autism, youth ages 8-12 and tees ages 13-17 participate in team building exercise, arts and crafts and group discussion activities to facilitate bonding. The program creates a safe space where kids ma share the unique experiences as a sibling to someone with special needs. We are fortunate to have 3 first generation facilitators planning and coordinating the program.
