Back to school is here. Transitioning back to routine and learning can be challenging for many families and autistic learners, making the preparation process even more important.

To help you and your family, we have compiled a list of resources to set you up for a successful school year.

This collection of resources aims to support caregivers in transitioning their child to school by building routines for success and supporting positive communication with their child’s school team.
