Embrace Differences and Celebrate Individuality with PBS KIDS
April is Autism Acceptance Month, and we’re embracing our differences and celebrating individuality with PBS KIDS. New episodes of Carl the Collector and a new episode from Work It Out Wombats explore topics like navigating change and sensory issues. Young viewers can follow characters like Carl, Lotta, Sammy and the Wombats as they work and play together to understand how we all learn, communicate and exist as individuals in our own unique ways.
