ASD Students Plan a Creative Best Buddies Session

On Nov. 10, students at American School Dhahran visited Accel Schools as part of the Best Buddies Program, an initiative that promotes inclusion and meaningful friendships between students through shared activities and regular monthly visits.

This month's visit was particularly special as ASD students took the lead in planning and organizing the session for their buddies. They prepared a variety of arts and crafts activities, including creating colorful popsicles using craft sticks and pom-poms, along with coloring activities and other creative projects.

The session was filled with excitement as students worked alongside their buddies, sharing ideas, helping one another and enjoying time together. The activities provided an opportunity for students to strengthen their connections and build friendships that continue to grow with each visit.

Through the ongoing collaboration between ASD and Accel Schools, the Best Buddies Program encourages understanding, acceptance and inclusion while creating a welcoming environment where students can learn from one another.

Following the success of this student-led session, ASD students are already looking forward to planning their next visit and introducing new activities to share with their buddies.
