Ambassador Connection - Coronavirus and Building Acceptance at Home

Special Edition

Volume 2 | Issue 4 | March 16, 2020

Hi!

By now, most of you should have received your ambassador tools . We know you will put them to good use! If you are unable to distribute during April, please consider saving these materials and using them at a future date.

As you know, there is considerable uncertainty about how the Coronavirus will affect our day to day lives . We continue to take our cues from state and local public health officials and experts to ensure the health and safety of our communities, especially those individuals at increased risk.

Autism New Jersey remains focused on our mission to be a resource for the autism community. With a fluid situation and great uncertainty, we’ll share relevant, accurate information as it becomes available. Read our official response and information for families>>

As school districts and communities evaluate plans for the weeks ahead, we know this will affect many or most awareness awareness activities and fundraising events.

START Building Acceptance From Home

Keeping in mind that as circumstances and events change in the world around us, autism is a constant. We encourage you if and when possible to move ahead with your plans. However, we expect and understand that some events or activities will need to be cancelled, rescheduled, or re-imagined.

Virtual options for you to consider:

We’ll be updating our online resources to offer some new ideas and resources given the circumstances. Stay tuned!

Autism New Jersey STARTS

with our Families

Our Helpline is available to assist families during this time of unexpected closures of programs and activities.

We still plan to support the autism community during April and deliver our 2020 Start with Respect message to our schools, workplaces, towns, friends, and neighbors. Although some events and activities may change, we believe that it is more important than ever to come together and raise awareness, acceptance, and funds to have a positive impact on New Jersey's autism community.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors that have already committed to showing their support. We look forward to bringing the community together online to help strengthen our message and support each other.
