It can be a little intense to have 120 officers and other personnel step onto our campus to take a tour. But this is one of the great things about the Morgan Autism Center staff. Everyone understands that it is our mission to create a positive environment, and therefore, a community for people with autism. Our program directors get involved in leading the tours, our teachers and instructional staff welcome the visitors into their classrooms, to give them first-hand observational experience.
Occasionally, our visitors will see a student who is having a difficult time. While it is not our desire to have any of our students or clients experience distress, these moments are extremely instructive for our visitors, providing them with a chance to observe the students and how our staff support them. For many of our first responders, the experience of a visit makes the theoretical real. First responders feel more prepared in the field to make sound decisions to serve our community and individuals on the spectrum.
