Parent toolkit

Do you think your child is autistic or have they been recently diagnosed?

If the answer is yes, you will have many questions about what to do next. Our Right from the Start parent toolkit is here to help.

This practical toolkit contains a wealth of straightforward information in one place to guide parents and carers through their child’s journey in the early years. From the autism assessment process to the first day of school, this toolkit is packed with practical tips and checklists to support parents during the earliest years of their child’s life. It also provides signposts to sources of support or additional information.

If you have a pre-school child, download the free toolkit now. We have also provided the key sections and templates from the toolkit as separate documents. 

Please note: This toolkit was last updated in 2020, and some information may no longer reflect current guidance or services. We are planning to update this resource, but hope that parents and carers will still find the information and ideas helpful while we do so.
