Autism Mail Club is back! We have some popular items returning from this past year and many GREAT NEW RESOURCES for you throughout the year to come!

Children and youth with ASD  have a wide range of skills, abilities and experience using visual supports. We heard your feedback, so for this year’s mail club resources we have included a category system to help you choose the resources/activities that may be most helpful to your child.

Category 1 – for children/youth who are new to using visual supports
Category 2 – for children/youth who have some experience using visual supports and/or read words
Category 3 – for children/youth who read and follow written instructions

If a resource month has more than one category number, we have included multiple category examples.

Select any or all of the resource items you would like to receive. At the end of each month, you will receive a package in the mail with the selected item.

What's in your monthly package:
•    the resource item
•    a handout explaining how it can be used
•    an invitation to book a Follow-Up Consult with a Family & Community Consultant (this is an opportunity to talk about how it's going or ask questions about the resource)
