In the conduct of the 2021 National Autism Conference which is also in line with the celebration of the 25th National Autism Consciousness Week, DepEd has partnered with the NORFIL Foundation, Inc. and Autism Society Philippines to further promote a sense of belonging and empowerment for children with special needs, such as those with autism.
DepEd said that it recognizes the important role of all sectors of society in achieving its goals for the inclusion of learners with autism. “By working together with our stakeholders, listening to their experiences, and finding ways within the system to create opportunities for meaningful collaboration, we can bring better services to our learners with autism,” Education Secretary Leonor Briones said.
