Transition Boards

Communication can be a barrier in autistic families. By using different methods of communication through pictures, you will find routines will get easier.

The Essentials

Resources that support autonomy skill building and independent skill building.

Support Charts

Charts that support ADHD/ASD students in the classroom or at home.

Speech Support

Print outs or helpful videos and charts specifically aiming to help children needing speech therapy.

Occupational Support

Resources that are perfect in either in special education classroom, at home, or for occupational therapy.

Food Journal Series

Cooking on the spectrum is a huge challenge—balancing sensory input, energy, and safety can feel overwhelming. To make it easier, we’re sharing monthly accessible recipes and safety tips tailored for neurodivergent needs. We believe everyone deserves to feel confident and safe in the kitchen.

Focus Boards

Building certain routines can be difficult because of the amount of sensory input being provided by the activity and environment. Focus boards help refocus students.
