Autism Caregiver Toolkit - Core Practical Sections.

This resource is your hands-on companion, filled with templates, checklists, and activity ideas you can print, customize, and use right away. Every child is different, so take what fits, adapt what almost fits, and set aside anything that doesn't feel right for your family. These tools are meant to support you alongside professional guidance, not replace it. You know your child best.

Inside you'll find:

🧠 Sensory Integration Tools: sensory diet templates, checklists across all 8 sensory systems, and home-friendly activities you can start today

🤲 Occupational Therapy Supports: fine & gross motor activities, self-care adaptations for dressing, toileting, and grooming 💬 Speech & Communication Tools: first-then boards, choice boards, core vocabulary starters, and social story templates you can personalize

📱 AAC Strategies: a step-by-step modelling guide, communication temptation ideas, a core word board layout, and progress tracking forms

📅 Visual Schedules & Routines: ready-to-use daily and transition schedules with icon guides to build your own

Everything is written in plain, gentle language, no jargon, no overwhelm. Just real tools you can print, fill in, and make your own.

This is the companion to our emotional support toolkit, Gentle Tools for Steadier Days. Together, they give you both the heart and the hands of caregiving support.

Both are completely free — always. 💛
