Autism Awareness Month

 

 

 

Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month takes place in April, a time set aside to celebrate people on the autism spectrum and encourage their inclusion and support. Efforts throughout the month, especially on World Autism Awareness Day on April 02, aim to raise research funding, enhance public understanding, and foster greater acceptance.

Regional Services Model

Vance County Schools (VCS) provides the continuum of support and services at its schools based on student needs and residents within Vance County.  Currently, VCS provides services at Carver Elementary, EO Young Elementary, and New Hope Elementary in the following areas Speech/Language, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy.  Students enrolled in these schools who may need additional service will transfer to the closest school to their residents.  Transportation to the district reassigned school is provided.
