We are thrilled to announce the Nest Egg! Our new quarterly digital publication is designed to share best practices, key resources and knowledge, learned from our Nest Model, all to enhance inclusive practices in school settings. wp.nyu.edu/thenestegg/
We're hiring! We are looking for an experienced special educator & an experienced speech therapist to join our dynamic multi-disciplinary team that values inclusion, strengths, and celebration of difference. For more information and to apply, see the link in our bio!
Happy National Principal's Day! Thank you Nest administrators for exemplifying this year's Nest theme of Partnership. Thank you for making your school a place where partnership can thrive!
Our team at NYU organized a petition to the American Psychiatric Association to implore them to engage with the autism community and reconsider the language used in the DSM V to shift to language more affirming to neurodivergent identity. Read more at change.org/p/ableist-lang…
IHDSC's Path Program reached another milestone when @NYCSchools' @DOEChancellor made a special visit to observe the NYCPS Specialized Program. Learn more about the Chancellor's visit and the Path program at the link ⬇️ steinhardt.nyu.edu/news/new-york-…
Since 2003, NYU Steinhardt’s @asdnestnyu has been partnering with @NYCSchools to establish inclusive cultures and advance the development and implementation of educational practices for autistic learners through the implementation of the ASD Nest Support Project. 👏
Those of us who have experienced the challenge of having a learning disability know what it means to learn differently. For 20 years the Autism Spectrum Disorders Nest at @nyuniversity has been changing lives of our @NYCSchools kids for the better.
Honored to celebrate @asdnestnyu's 20th anniversary! Since 2015, 97% of Nest Students graduate in 4 years. This is a perfect example of what our students are capable of when we deliver high-quality education. In fact, this fall, we've added ASD Nest programs in 14 NYC schools.
What a remarkable evening celebrating 20 years of @asdnestnyu and the incredible @DorothySiegel, who passionately shared her vision and journey to improve education for NYC's students! Thank you for your many outstanding contributions. #ASDNest #DorothySiegel #NYCPS
Nest celebrates its 20th anniversary this 2023! Thank you to all the schools, partners, families, and students that have worked alongside us to foster Autism inclusion across NYC Public Schools! @metronyu Read more: steinhardt.nyu.edu/news/asd-nest-…
Nest is wishing you a fantastic first day of school! We are looking forward to reconnecting with all our Nest schools. Here's to a new year! See you soon :)
Calling all autistic media-makers! @MovingImageNYC is hosting the Marvels of Media Festival -- a media festival celebrating film, videography, video game design, and more. More information can be found at: filmfreeway.com/marvelsofmedia
Cheers to the 2022-2023 school year! Thank you for a fabulous year full of collaboration, inclusive practices, lifelong learning, and unforgettable joy. Nest wishes you a restorative and wonderful summer!
We're hiring! ASD Nest Support Project at the NYU Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools is seeking applications for a FT Instructional Support Specialist. For more information, check out the application page at apply.interfolio.com/126103
We are just 3 days away. Do not miss out. Be sure to attend @metronyu’s #PrioritizingEquity Conference. Join us this Friday, June 2nd, in New York City. Hear keynote address from @PedroANoguera. Register here: bit.ly/metro-equityco…
To every non-autistic person, My autistic brain and I would like you to know: - I say what I mean. Don’t ever get upset over something you think I’ve implied. I don’t imply. - I care, I just show it differently. - I feel emotions, I’m just succinct in my expression of them.
Time for a Nest school Strategy Spotlight! Check out this idea for a whole class community check-in, from Stephanie S. and Christopher M.'s 4th Grade Math class at PS 9!
