Kit for Kids is a resource designed to teach elementary and middle school students about their peers with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Peer Education Leaders must be 13 years old or younger AND have a supervisor 21 years and older to facilitate the lesson(s). OAR staff will guide parents, educators, and others interested in supervising.
