Autism Resources & Help (For Parents, Teachers & More)
written by the team at Elemy, posted on elemy.com
For years, we’ve been told that it takes a village to raise a happy, healthy, and well-adjusted child. When that person has autism, the need for community is even more acute.
Children with autism rely on their network to help them navigate the world around them. The more you know about the disorder, how it works, and how others cope, the better you can help your family adjust to this new reality.
Some resources for autism apply to anyone who wants to learn more, but there are some that target specific audiences. In this guide, we’ll highlight resources made just for:
-
Parents. Learn more about how autism touches children, how parents navigate critical systems, and what you can do to help your child.
-
Teachers. Find out more about your roles and responsibilities in the classroom, and learn more about how you can support your students, no matter where they fall on the spectrum.
-
Allies. Grandparents, siblings, and friends can also help children with autism, and plenty of resources exist to help you do just that.
