Autism Focused Intervention Resources & Modules - COVID-19 Toolkit

I absolutely love💗 this toolkit provided by Autism Focused Intervention Resources & Modules (AFIRM).   These times are stressful for everyone, especially if you prefer structure and routine.  Fear of the unknown is difficult to deal with and I think most of us have felt this at one point or another since the coronavirus outbreak began.

Every parent, teacher, or family member I have met who works with or has a child with autism goes to great lengths to find out what does and doesn't work for their child.  Please use this website as a guide and utilize the resources you feel would fit/work best for your child or student.   The website has MANY activities and resources available for use that go with each of the 7 support strategies.

The 7 support strategies for implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic include the following:

1. Support understanding
2. Offer opportunities for expression
3. Prioritize coping and calming skills
4. Maintain routines
5. Build new routines
6. Foster connections (from a distance)
7. Be aware of changing behaviors
