Sheffield school pupils walk to raise awareness of autism

All the children at Nook Lane Junior School, in Stannington, took part in the walk around their school during World Autism Awareness Week.

Collette Taylor, head of the school's integrate resource, said: "We wore multi-colours to symbolise Nook Lane's individualised approach in meeting the needs of children within school as well as those with autism."

To begin the week, Dr Luke Beadon, works at The Autism Centre at Sheffield Hallam University, visited the school to deliver a workshop and question and answer session with the families of children with autism.
