Getting Ready for School - Transition to School

The transition to school can be especially challenging for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. Changes to routines, environments, activities, people and uniforms can cause unease or anxiety for individuals.

This workshop will explore the various ways you can support your child to transition as smoothly as possible into school including with orientation visits, social stories and practising at home. You will also learn about how to best advocate for your child by having a communication system in place, ensuring the best tools and strategies are used to help your child successfully transition to school.

This workshop has been designed for parents, carers and professionals who are currently supporting a child with an Autism diagnosis who will be transitioning to school in 2020.

We hope that this gallery will be able to provide countless opportunities for young artists and inspire creativity of future artists.

Another important reason to take part

Each year one in four children are bullied at school. It can have a huge effect on their self-esteem, behaviour and their ability to succeed at school. The Buddy Run gives us all the chance to stand up and say no to bullying. Together, we can champion change.
