April marks World Autism Month, an opportunity to raise understanding, beyond the statistics, about people who are differently abled.
Jessica Leiser is an occupational therapist at the Sierra School of San Diego, located in San Carlos. The Sierra School serves students in grades 1-12 and adults aged 18-22 with autism spectrum exceptionalities, specific learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, other health impairments, and emotional disabilities.
This year, Sierra School celebrates their tenth year of partnership with the San Carlos Community Garden, which provides a wonderful learning opportunity for Sierra School students, many of who require additional educational and behavioral support.
