Autism Support Starter Pack

🐾 Everything you need to get started with visual support, in one calm, friendly pack! 🐾

The Autism Support Starter Pack brings together 6 core resources to help children communicate their needs, understand their feelings, follow routines and regulate when things feel too much. Every sheet features the same friendly cockapoo, so the resources feel familiar and consistent wherever they're used.

Created by The SEN Advocate for autistic and neurodivergent children, and the families, teachers and therapists who support them.
