Through this publication, we document the meaningful journey of “Autistic Stars at Harvard 2025”, while presenting the tangible outcomes and transformative impact of our TAAA Holistic Education Model.

Organized by the Taiwan Autistic Arts Association (TAAA), this project integrates art, culture, and sensory learning to empower autistic youth to transcend linguistic and cultural barriers. The tour brought them to BIMDC and the Greater Boston community for artistic performances, educational exchange, and public dialogue.

Rooted in the holistic model—which emphasizes Holistic Senses, Imagination, Cultural Awareness, Expression, Visual Learning, Human Connection, and Experiential Learning—we have witnessed remarkable growth among our students in areas such as communication, confidence, social interaction, and cultural engagement.

This book features exhibition highlights, educational philosophy, artist stories, and heartfelt reflections from families. Beyond documenting the tour, it offers a glimpse into the vibrant inner worlds of our youth. Each page bears witness to transformation—and to the pursuit of inclusion through action.

We believe that education is not merely support—but ignition. When seen and understood, every autistic star can journey toward a broader, brighter future.
