The back to school transition teems with excitement, apprehension, frustration, and hope for a successful school year. Special education requires parents, students, caretakers, and teachers to tackle challenges and provide extra support so individuals on the autism spectrum can fulfill their right to a meaningful education.

The Autism Society has put together a digital toolkit of resources, information, and guides to help navigate the education system. In addition, we’ve highlighted successful education programs and services offered by our affiliates.
