Tips

It takes a lot of hard work to help a child with ASD get the most out of their classroom experience. It first starts with structure and the understanding that every child with an autism is unique. That means each child has different symptoms as well as styles of learning.

In public schools, they are legally bound to use an IEP (Individual Education Plan) to guide the education of a child with autism. During these meeting, educators make decisions about what services your child will receive during the school year. Try to encourage outside professionals such as therapist and former teachers to participate.


Experts suggest that every child with ASD, needs individual attention. So let's make sure we give them that 100% they deserve.

  • Get involved with your school. That way teachers get to know you.
  • Share your knowledge. Ask the teachers to share with those involved with you child.
  • Give teachers and coaches easy instructions.
