Monarch Center for Autism

Students from Monarch Center for Autism enjoyed some fun water play activities in the beautiful weather!

Students and staff from Monarch Center for Autism visited Camp Burton for our 3rd Annual Camp MTEP Day! We spent the day outside exploring nature, doing art projects, enjoying games in the field, and playing music. This experience has quickly become one of our favorite days of the year!

In celebration of National Speech and Hearing Month, we thank the amazing Speech Language Pathologists at Monarch Center for Autism who work so hard to make effective communication accessible and achievable for all Monarch students. We are so lucky to benefit from your expertise and compassion every day!

This school year, Monarch Center for Autism students Dominic and Makayla, have been volunteering for the Lake County Council on Aging's Nutrition Site located within the Wickliffe Senior Center facility. They work alongside other volunteers in the kitchen cleaning, organizing, plating food, and serving lunch. In honor of Autism Acceptance Month in April, seniors attending lunch listened to a presentation on autism. Dominic and Makayla joined in by talking about their experience at Monarch and their goals for the future. We're so proud of Dominic and Makayla for how well they spoke in front of the large group and how hard they've worked at the Nutrition Site!

Thank you so much to the University Heights Police Department and University Heights Fire Department for visiting Monarch Center for Autism with your patrol cars, ambulance, and ladder truck. Our students loved meeting you and exploring your vehicles and equipment. We really appreciate your kindness and hope to see you again soon!
