Every Child Wants to Connect
Sometimes they just need us to discover how.
A child may communicate through words, pictures, movement, behaviour, sensory play, or simply by showing us what captures their attention. When we slow down and observe, the child begins to show us how they experience the world, what interests them, and how they learn.
Welcome to Autism Solutions
Autism Solutions is a place for parents and professionals who want to understand the individual child before deciding what support should look like.
It grew from more than two decades of learning alongside autistic children, families and supporting professionals, and from a belief that meaningful progress begins when we pay attention not only to what a child needs to learn, but also to how that particular child experiences, communicates and learns from the world around them.
Here, families and professionals are invited to explore, reflect, share observations and learn from one another, with the child always at the centre.
What Is Autism Solutions?
Autism Solutions brings together lived experience, professional knowledge, family partnership and more than two decades of autism consultation and educational practice.
At its centre is AAPT: Autism Skill Assessment and Programming Tools, a structured framework for understanding a child's strengths and emerging abilities, identifying meaningful priorities, and developing individualized next steps.
But Autism Solutions is also a place for conversation and shared learning, where parents and professionals can bring different observations and experiences together to better understand and support the individual child.
Two Perspectives. One Child.
Parents and professionals may see the same child differently. Each brings valuable knowledge, experience and observations.
Autism Solutions creates a space where these perspectives can come together around one shared purpose: understanding and supporting the individual child.
