Jassy Bear is a young bear who has autism. He is non-speaking so is learning how to use his speech device called his 'talker' (AAC) to express his wants and needs along with other non-verbal communication.

Through this heart-warming and beautifully illustrated story, children (and their grown ups) will learn about autism and how it can look different for each person - which is why it's called Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD.

Jassy Bear goes to School, shows children what a special school setting is like and the things that Jassy Bear and his friends do during the day. Jassy Bear enjoys jumping on the crash mat, a regulating activity for his busy body but his favourite activity at school is playing on the playground. He also tells you about his friends and how they see the world too. 

In this story, Jassy Bear will take you on a journey as he searches for acceptance, understanding and inclusion.

Written by an Early Years Special Needs Educator and illustrated by a Speech Pathologist, with a shared passion of raising awareness for autism through early intervention and education. This book is a valuable resource for pre-schools, kindergartens, classrooms, therapy centres, and families to help educate children about autism and how they can befriend all the little Jassy Bears of the world.
