As a teacher, it is commonplace nowadays to have experience with children in mainstream settings that present with additional needs.

However, as a parent of a child with autism, I have seen firsthand the educational challenges that he faces day-in, day-out. It is with this in mind that I have pursued to further educate myself on ways that can make his years at school not just bearable, but rather enjoyable and enriching.

I will share some of these experiences, and the hints and tips that have worked for us, as perhaps they will be helpful for others also.

Happy teaching!
