Back to school can be a difficult time of transition for children with autism. Here are some tips to help ease the process:
Communicate with the school: Maintain open and constant communication with teachers and other school professionals.
Prepare your child: Talk to your child about going back to school in advance, using simple language and visual aids.
Rehearse the routine: Simulate school situations at home to familiarize your child with the new environment.
Collaborate with the therapist: Work together with your child’s therapist to generalize the skills learned in therapy to the school setting.
Offer emotional support: Listen to your child, validate their feelings and offer the support they need.
