“Kit for Kids” – Organization for Autism Research (OAR)

The “Kit for Kids” is designed to teach elementary and middle school students about their peers with autism. The kit is centered around an illustrated, fold-out booklet called, “What’s Up with Nick?”

Additionally, there is a web video and activity workbooks that expand upon the information presented in the “What’s Up with Nick?” story and give students a chance to engage with the material they just learned in the lesson. There are different workbooks for students in grades K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-8. They can be assigned as independent or group classwork, or as homework.

For more information, to order a print copy of the Kit for Kids, or to start a peer education initiative in your school district, please contact Ben Kaufman at (703)243-9762 or programs@researchautism.org.
