APRIL 2, 2026—On April 2, 2026, our global community will come together to observe World Autism Day. The United Nations General Assembly declared April 2nd as World Autism Awareness Day in 2007 “to highlight the need to improve the quality of life of those with autism so they can lead full and meaningful lives as an integral part of society.”
This year’s theme of “Autism and Humanity—Every Life Has Value” highlights the intersectionality of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) resources and autism advocacy.
UN Sustainable Development Goals, through a focus on inclusion, equitable opportunity, and access to services for people with autism see overlap in the following goals:
- Good Health and Well-being
- Quality Education
- Work and Economic Growth
- Reduced Inequalities
In April, Autism and Neurodiversity Awareness, Acceptance and Celebration Month, Regina Public Schools will celebrate autism and neurodiversity as one of our division’s strengths.
