A practical companion for understanding, connection and regulation in everyday family life. 

Introduction

These printable pages are taken from The Autism Toolkit by Vicky Carpenter.

They are here to support everyday family life with autistic children and children who may experience sensory, communication, regulation or interaction differences.

You can download them for free and use them at your own pace. There is no need to complete everything, follow every chapter, or use the pages in order. Start with one page that feels useful now.

Each chapter includes simple explanations, reflection pages and practical tools to help you understand your child, notice what supports them, and find small ideas that may make daily life feel a little more manageable.

Note

These pages are not a diagnosis, therapy programme or parenting test. They are conversation and reflection tools. Please adapt them to fit your child, your family and your everyday life.

How to use these pages

Choose one page that feels relevant.
Read it slowly.
Notice what sounds like your child.
Ignore what does not fit.
Try one small idea, or simply use the page to help explain your child’s needs to someone else.
