VP of Autism Speaks shares strategies for a successful school year
that provides helpful information about students with autism to promote understanding and kindness at school and is a great training resource for all members of the school community.
Once you have an idea of your child’s day-to-day schedule, create a daily schedule to review in the mornings. Whenever possible, provide visual supports like charts, calendars or personalized teaching stories that can support communication and help autistic children to better understand what to expect in new situations. You can spend time with your child going over any new additions to the schedule together, leaving plenty of time for any questions.
Though not everyone’s situation may allow for it, another way of staying involved in your child’s school experience is through volunteering, and as an added bonus you may be able to connect with other parents with similar experiences.
