Information for families of children with ASD

​​​The resources in this section have been designed specifically for parents of young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as their child commences the transition to Prep in Queensland.

Resources have been grouped under these main headings:

• school options for your child
• preparing your child
• school holidays.

Each section contains tip sheets and templates for you to use during the transition journey and links to other relevant areas of the website.

While these resources have been designed specifically to support the transition of children with ASD into Prep, they represent best practice in transition. Some resources and links may therefore be useful for all students and during other transition periods (e.g. transition from year to year or from primary to secondary schooling).
