What is inside

• The Triple A Strategy: Awareness, Acceptance and Accommodation, and how each one changes a child's world.
• Practical accommodations, such as sensory friendly spaces, visual schedules, alternative ways to communicate and understanding stims as self regulation.
• Words of hope for families who have just received a diagnosis.

Who it is for
