Help Heroes Lesson Plan
Students will learn and practice clear help-seeking steps—Notice, Ask, Confirm—to build confidence in asking for assistance and support neurodiverse peers.
Effective help-seeking empowers all students—including those with autism—to communicate needs, build independence, and foster an inclusive, supportive classroom community.
