FirstCare Medical Plan has partnered with REACH Bahamas and the Ministry of Education once again to host an essay contest on the topic “Autism in the Bahamas: Inclusion, Advocacy & Dispelling Myths”. It is open to students grades 10 to 12.
The competition is being held to increase local high school students’ social awareness of this neurobiological disorder. Interested students are encouraged to submit an 800 to 1,000-word essay on the topic. Submissions will be accepted through May 16.
“The ministry is pleased to endorse this significant event that will do much to educate the wider public and bring greater recognition and support to persons diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder or autism,” said Marcellus Taylor, Deputy Director of Education for Planning and Development.
