Autism

The demands of raising a child with autism are great, and families frequently experience high levels of stress. Recognizing and preparing yourself for the challenges that are in store will make a tremendous difference to all involved, including the parents, siblings, grandparents, extended family, and friends.

Hi,
My 6 year old son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3. One of the struggles we've had was clarifying his functioning level with educators.
I found and used this tool on the site http://www.autismsupportsforyou.com and found it very user-friendly and helpful. Parents are asked to complete a survey that asks questions from a parent, caregiver or educator about a child’s particular learning style and needs. Based on that feedback, it generates a report of individual strategies that can be applied immediately. This was created by a mom with a child on the Autism Spectrum and group of educational consultants, it's really cool. I Hope parents find this as beneficial as we did.

Best regards,
Soni
