Autism Resource Kit in a Bag for Classrooms

Over 90% of children are visual learners and up to 97% for those with social communication difficulties and yet we tend to use our voices far too much.

“I have two children in my class on the autism spectrum. This kit has made a huge difference to their understanding of what is happening next, what they are meant to be doing and more importantly has helped me to adapt my communication. Life is now much easier.” – Teacher, Milton Keynes
