Description : UNO students from Dr. Ritzman’s autism spectrum disorders class develop activities for a Fall Festival for children (preschool to school age) who are a part of the Autism Society of Nebraska. This project reinforces classroom curriculum for UNO students by practicing supports and knowledge about ASD and implementing them in the form of a Fall Festival. The festival benefits ASN by having a gathering for children and families to celebrate fall/Halloween that they may not be able to participate in the larger public. Public spaces and some school activities are not always catered towards individuals with autism, causing and overwhelming experience. The students make this environment friendly and safe for the families to participate.

Description : Graduate students from UNO Instructor Tami Williams’ Educational Leadership course collaborated with Ms. Danielle Elsasser’s 5rd grade students from Black Elk Elementary and adults with autism from the Autism Center of Nebraska (ACN). This project allowed the elementary students to foster relationships between themselves, UNO grad students, and the clients from ACN through the creation of STEAM based collaboration activities. Some of these activities included making origami, slime, and tinker toys. UNO students benefited by the gained experience of making lesson plans and working with students and adults with disabilities. To culminate the project, origami butterflies that were made during the project were hung on light up trees and given to Black Elk and ACN.
