Autism+Classroom

There is a great website called 'Autism Classroom' that has a wide range of resources and supports for teachers and parents of children with autism. It includes strategies for parents and teachers, material such as examples of routines, resources for purchase, as well as mobile applications for iphones that have activities to use, mini training sessions for teachers and autism news updates.

This would be a fantastic resource for on hand information and support at any time of the day. There are publications that can be accessed at recess on communication strategies, how to set up an Individual Education Plan and behaviour management. For example, if the student or teacher is having a particularly bad day, strategies can be viewed to help assist the teacher with managing the behaviour.

An aspect of the website I thought could be particularly useful were the publications on setting up routines for teachers and in particular student teachers. They offer free template for setting up routines and the talk about how to set up successful routines.

You can subscribe to the 'feed' to receive updates when new articles are published and there are also avenues for providing/reading comments on the articles.
