Autism & Back to School
We are aware September is a challenging time for students with
Autism, settling back into school, and their teachers supporting them in the
classroom.
To that end, we have launched a series of AsIAm “Back to School” Handbooks
for students, parents and teachers. These handbooks were launched, with
national media attention, earlier this week and are available for free
download on our website.
They can be found at this link: http://www.asiam.ie/school-handbooks-2
I would respectfully ask you to share these resources with interested
parents and teachers in your school. I would particularly draw your
attention to our “My Child” and “All About Me” workbooks which help students
and parents share person-specific challenges with teachers.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you require further
information or support. For more information on these guides see our media
links below.
Best Wishes.
Kind regards,
Adam Harris
