At our school you will learn about honesty and telling the truth. You will even learn about sharing and cheering for your friends. These 4 years for me have been the best. The teachers are nice.Murray, age 9

Many students with autism are visual learners.  Visual supports can organize a sequence of events, clarify verbal information to make it more understandable, and be used to provide reminders of what to say and do in a situation.  Families may find these websites a good resource for printing visuals to use at home:

 

www.visualaidsforlearning.com – This website has down loadable visuals for students with autism to help with daily activities.

www.AdaptedLearning.com – A new site from Mayer-Johnson that provides boardmaker files. You must have Boardmaker to open the files.
 
www.do2learn.com – This site contains printable materials, an emotions online game as well as lots of information.
www.usevisualstrategies.com – This site has lots of free picture cards to print.
http://trainland.tripod.com/pecs.htm - This site contains free PECS cards to print.

Another website that your child may enjoy exploring:
 
www.zacbrowser.com – This is the first web browser developed specifically for children with autism spectrum disorders. Children touch it, use it, play with it, interact with it and experience independence through ZAC.
