Short Doc Pitch

news peg: With the pandemic shutting down schools, especially schools that specialize in autistic kids it’s been a struggle for these kids to get their traditional learning. Several months later, being brought back to the classroom setting had many pros for them but being at home for so long, autistic kids still meet a few struggles and so do their teachers.

Pitch: I want to focus on the teachers teaching the autistic kids in this school right in my neighborhood around Staten Island. I want to focus on the main teacher and her struggles and I also want to focus on a teacher assistant that just started helping out this year and interview her to see if this is what she expected etc. i also want to get the kids opinion on being back in the classroom setting and if they’re any differences. I also want to know how they were able to adapt to regulations constantly changing etc.
