Resources for Children on the Autism Spectrum<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Every child on the autism spectrum (ASD) is different: for one, noise or bright light is hard to bear, another seeks strong sensations, and a third finds it hardest to express what they want. That is why there is no single \u201cright\u201d resource \u2013 there are resources that help with a particular need. In this guide we have gathered learning resources grouped by what they are for: the senses, touch, oral sensations, communication, emotions and visual attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resources do not replace professional support. If your child sees an occupational therapist, speech therapist or special education teacher, talk to them \u2013 they will help you choose what suits your child and show you how to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensory regulation and calming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many children on the autism spectrum react strongly to sensory input or, on the contrary, seek it out. Resources that provide deep pressure, a sense of touch or something to squeeze are often used to create a calm, predictable activity. Weighted items, such as a weighted shoulder wrap, are best discussed with an occupational therapist first \u2013 they will advise how long and in which situations to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n
