News You Can Use!

Autism Society partners with Nickelodeon

to Create Back-To-School Resources

The Autism Society of America and Nickelodeon co-created a free, downloadable, Back-to-School resource pack to help support students on the Autism spectrum and their teachers. In this collaborative effort, our goal is to help empower Autistic students who are navigating their educational journeys, and provide agency and engagement exclusively through positive reinforcement.

The resource pack can be used across all age ranges and should be personalized to support student agency and engagement.
