What to Expect
Autism Mail Club is back!
We have some popular items returning from this past year and many GREAT NEW RESOURCES for you throughout the year to come!
Sign up now to receive resources and tip sheets in the mail. Each topic is designed to help you to support your child or youth with autism.
Select any or all of the resource items you would like to receive (up to 12!). At the end of each month, you will receive a package in the mail with the selected item. If a month has passed, you can sign up for a Talk With Me to learn about the resource you missed.
What's in your monthly package:
- the physical resource (this is an item commonly used to help children and their families be successful in a variety of situations or settings)
- a handout explaining how the item can be used
- an invitation to book a Follow-Up Consult with a Family & Community Consultant (this is an opportunity to talk about how it's going or ask questions about the resource)
Here's what we have coming up:
- September: First Then Board and Visual Schedule - Introducing visual supports
- October: Emotional Regulation - Introducing calming strategies
