with toys. Off in the distance is a colorful rug with letters on it where everyone will gather for storytime. Does the child go right in, look for friends, and find a spot on the rug? Or do they stop, cover their ears, close their eyes, and take a deep breath?
And what do the parents decide is best for their child, perhaps remembering a previous negative experience? These questions are important to consider when creating autism-inclusive programming and learn more about how the
