Starting school—or starting something new—can feel overwhelming for autistic children, their parents, and their teachers. One of the biggest challenges is not knowing how a child learns best.
Without that understanding, stress builds quickly:
Parents feel unheard.
Teachers feel overwhelmed.
Autistic students feel misunderstood.
That’s why we created the “Teach Me the Way I Learn Best” autism handout—a simple tool that helps families and educators share key information from day one. Whether your child is starting school, homeschooling, or receiving therapy, this resource makes a difference.
The handout highlights:
Autism strengths (including skills often overlooked).
Potential strengths that show motivation to learn.
Barriers that make learning harder.
Triggers that lead to stress, shutdowns, or meltdowns.
Connection strategies that help build trust and social bonds.
🎥 In this week’s video, we explain how to use the handout for parents, therapists, and teachers.
Teacher Bonus: You’ll see real classroom examples of how educators can use this tool to adapt curriculum, reduce stress, and build student success.
