Description: This particular website focuses on providing resources for teachers that work with students on the Autism Spectrum. The site provides educators with access to free materials and materials that can be purchased in a wide array of categories. Topics addressed in this site include classroom set-up (environment) to graphic organizers, tips for non-verbal cues, academic areas, and everything in between. There are even songs and art projects that specials teachers could utilize in lesson planning. It is a one-stop shop for the basics that an educator needs for instructing students with a wide array of social to academic needs. Autism support and general education teachers could use these resources as supplement to lessons or a main focus of lessons. By using many of the ideas presented in the website a teacher could help to prevent any frustration or behavioral issues from arising in academic or social problem solving situations. As a teacher of students on the Autism Spectrum, I would have liked to have stumbled across this site as I was working on materials for lessons and supports for teachers. I found similar resources by searching many sites and making handouts on my own. With this website all one has to do is simply click though the tabs and links and the resources are right there to explore and download.
