February Positively Autism Newsletter

February Newsletter Topic: Transitioning to New Places

Last month, Positively Autism focused on helping children with autism transition more easily between activities. This month, we are continuing to focus on transition, but with a slightly different topic. We'll be sharing tips and resources to help your child or students with autism to transition to new places, such as:

• A new school,  
• A new classroom,
• A new church or place of worship,
• Places in the community (such as stores, libraries, and movie theaters)
• Etc.
