The new academic year can be
challenging for any child. After all,
entering a new grade (or school entirely)
comes with a shift in responsibilities and
expectations. They will also have to
adjust to a new teaching style and re-
integrate with their peers after spending
a lot of time at home. As such, it’s
important that you find as many ways as
possible to prepare your child to go
back to school!
Introduction
3. Children with autism often react best to
new situations when they are able to
prepare for them ahead of time.
Therefore, you should ensure you give
them plenty of advance warning before
their first day at school rolls around. One
way in which you can achieve this goal is
by making it part of your daily
conversation. (Get complete detail here)
Talk about going back to
school ahead of time.
4. There are various ways in which you can
go about making your child feel more
comfortable with a new teacher. For
example, you could ask if they can meet
with their teacher ahead of time, ideally
in their new classroom, to get a feel for
the space. Alternatively, you could
schedule a quick zoom session with the
teacher. You can also take help of
Autism Treatment expert for deep
understanding.
Ask to meet their new
teacher ahead of time.
5. Children with Autism and other
developmental disabilities are often very
driven and like to present themselves
with a series of challenges. As such, they
usually thrive in an academic
environment. Therefore, you can help
them feel more excited about starting
school by encouraging them to set
themselves new goals for the academic
year.

6. Children with autism or related
disorders also tend to thrive when
operating in a clearly structured
environment. In this regard, attending
school each day works in the favor – as
they will be expected to arrive at the
same time each morning and eat lunch
at the same time each day.
Put together a
schedule.
7. In short, there are various steps you can
take to support your child as they
prepare for the new school year.
However, if you think they may need
some additional support – we offer both
in-person and online therapy services
designed to help children with autism
and related disorders thrive in any
situation. Contact us at Occupational
