ASC/Neurodivergence peer awareness assembly/lesson PPT

ASC Peer Awareness Assembly (PowerPoint Presentation)

This ready-to-use assembly introduces pupils to Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) in an engaging and accessible way. It helps promote understanding, empathy, and acceptance by exploring the idea that while some differences are easy to see, others are not - and no two people with ASC are the same.

The assembly covers:

An introduction to ASC and some of the challenges individuals might face.

Different ways we communicate and why communication can sometimes be difficult for people with ASC.

Three interactive games to bring concepts to life:

1. Point to the Body Part Game – highlighting why symbols can support communication.

2. Facial Expressions Game – exploring how expressions can be misread.

3. Concentration Game – demonstrating the impact of sensory sensitivities.

Inspiring examples of successful people with ASC.

Link to a story suggestion “All My Stripes” which could be shared.

A final message on how we can all be good friends to someone who is neurodivergent.
