This year, because of the freedom and opportunity to innovate, 700 students attending AZ Autism Charter are celebrated for their neuro-diversities and have differentiated programs to challenge them to their next level of learning. #SchoolChoiceWeek yassprize.org/awardees/arizo…


"As an Autism Mom, I don’t want my kid to be seen as disabled. I want him to be seen as a doer," says, AZ Autism Charter Founder, Diana Diaz-Harrison. That’s why Diana’s schools provide options to students most in need. #SchoolChoiceWeek youtu.be/-NgnNS_E7oE


“With one in 44 children on the autism spectrum there is a need for an autism-focused charter in every major city,” said AZ Autism Charter founder on plans to launch a nationwide network. azbigmedia.com/business/arizo… via AZ Big Media AZCharterAssociation
