Autism acceptance is not just a buzzword — it is action.
In the past few years, there's been a transition to label April as Autism Awareness Month to Autism Acceptance Month. Here at RoboKind we've chosen to use "Acceptance" as a monicker that we not only should acknowledge Autism's existence, but also celebrate the amazing accomplishments of those on the spectrum.
It's a paradigm shift, but as advocates and members, we make it our mission to practice and encourage acceptance every day. Together, we can work to make our society more accepting and inclusive for autistic individuals.
In April, to celebrate neurodiversity and Autism Acceptance Month, RoboKind is hosting a coloring showcase to highlight autistic scholars and partners who illustrate all colors of the spectrum every day.
We've made it super easy to participate so your scholars' art is recognized!

The behaviors of robots are generally more predictable than that of humans so it's easier for autistic students to interact with them – and ultimately learn from them.
Our partner schools adopt Milo, Jemi, Veda, and Carver into their classrooms and communities. The students know the robot as their most patient and interesting friend.
Together, let's empower our autistic friends and family members to live full and happy lives free of judgment and limitations. At RoboKind, it's our priority.
