Autism & Education

Educating autistic children presents many challenges. In Suite 101’s Autism & Education subsection you’ll learn how to handle public, private and homeschool issues. You'll learn how to help your child with basic life skills. You’ll find information on different schools and training centers, conferences and support networks.

However, education also includes raising awareness for parents and others, finding resources, learning about and dealing with sensory issues, and understanding when to be concerned about behaviors such as imaginary friends or stimming. Whether you want to teach your child to stop throwing toys, communicate better, cope with the holidays, learn computer activities, or better prepare for college, Suite’s education section can help.
