Valuable Autism Links

Valuable Autism Links

It occurred to me that I haven't shared these links that I use frequently.  Each of these websites have their benefits.  Look through them and decide if they are something you can use.

Ohio's Parent Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorders  This is actually a link to a PDF file that can viewed online or downloaded onto your computer or mobile reading devise. Written by parents for parents, this is very easy to read and comprehend. This guide is relevant even if you do not live in Ohio.  I find it gives parents vocabulary necessary to communicate what they know and need for their child.  This is also good for people who work with people with autism.

Autism Internet Modules This website is for a wealth of knowledge for how to perform the latest pedagogy in working with students with autism in the home and at school.  The modules walk the viewer through how to do the procedures.  There is a pre-test and post-test so it is applicable for paraprofessional, home worker, and teacher trainings.

Autism Spectrum Disorders Handbook through University of South Dakota This is a link to another PDF file that can be viewed online or downloaded onto your computer or mobile reading devise. This is a medically based handbook.  It is interesting to compare the medical view of Autism to the Ohio Parent's guide.  While this handbook may not be the most usable for the parent or worker of a person with autism, it will aid in navigating insurance and medical services for people with autism.

Autism Speaks 100 day kit  This is another PDF file that can be viewed online or downloaded onto your computer or mobile reading devise. This kit is vital to any parent that just had their child diagnosed with autism.  It would also be valuable to a parent who thinks their child might be on the spectrum.

10 Things Every Child with Autism Wish You Knew  I recommend printing this off and giving a copy to everyone that works with your child with autism.  Keep a copy of this on your refrigerator, in your car, on your bathroom mirror, or any other place you need a reminder of how the awesomeness of your child on the spectrum!
