Autism Awareness

Clarendon School had a dress down day, where they wore blue shirts and blue glow bracelets to "Light it up blue" for Autism Awareness on Friday, April 5th $230 was raised for Autism NJ. Clarendon School also raised over $3000 for Spectrum Works from the sale of T-shirts that Spectrum Works designed and printed. This is a unique company located in Secaucus that only hires employees that are on the Autism Spectrum. Some of the Secaucus School district high school students have the opportunity of interning at Spectrum Works and a few graduates work there in different aspects of the company. Spectrum Works Vision:
We believe that people with autism and other disabilities can be integrated into the workforce through education and opportunity. Our vision is to change society’s perception of how corporations can seamlessly employ and integrate people with disabilities (specifically Autism) into their workplace. Spectrum Works has created a scalable program that can be fitted to companies to start their integration of people with disabilities into their workforce.
