My oldest child has high functioning autism. So to most people he looks like every other 8 year old boy. However, my son has autistic behaviors that can be difficult to understand and know how to handle.
Since he is mainstreamed, I make his church and school teachers a card every year letting them know key information that will help him learn and thrive. School is starting in a couple weeks and it’s time to update the card.
Click here to see an example of the ‘All About Me’ card. Even if your child doesn’t have special needs, consider making one. It’s a way that your child’s teacher can relate to them on a personal level from the very beginning of the school year.

Thanks for sharing this post! I have a brother who is 10 with aspergers. I passed the info and site on to my mom. Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
My youngest has SPD. This is a great idea.
Great idea! I have a daughter with Aspergers. It is so good to have the information written as well as the a verbal conversation.
Laurie, tonight was our meet and greet at school. I made one of these for my son with SPD and his first grade teacher loved it. It certainly helped me feel a lot more at ease knowing she had some added info about my son. Thank you for the idea!
I have tried to go to all of your links related to autism help sites and they keep coming up with a screen saying to I’ve been 404′d. Can you please help me, I am really wanting to see the different links to things related to autism helps for my son.
Thanks,
Robyn
