Is it too soon to start thinking about the return to school? 

Preparation is key for autistic children and young people so it can be useful to start making plans now for the new routine.  This resource provides some ideas for parents and caregivers to consider when establishing the school day routine.  Routines are often more relaxed over the summer months and it can then be demanding to suddenly introduce an earlier bedtime and strict morning routine on the first day of school.  Some children and young people will benefit from the gradual introduction of these new routines now.  The Centre will share some visual supports over the coming days to help with the preparation for back to school.
