Simple, free PowerPoint slides and toolkits from The Autism Toolkit - for use in schools.
This page brings together the SENDCo facilitation pack, Powerpoints with reliventslides, and the printable parent toolkits that sit alongside it.
The SENDCo Parent Partnership Resource helps schools run informal autism-informed coffee mornings, parent sessions or short parent partnership sequences.
The free printable Autism Toolkit pages can be used within those sessions, shared with parents and carers, or used to support home–school conversations.
Together, these resources offer a gentle, practical way to build shared language between families and schools, reduce isolation, and support small, manageable next steps in everyday life.
