The doctor will see you now... If your child has an autism diagnosis, there's a good chance you are also seeing some medical or therapy specialists. Everyone has a different path and will respond to treatments in different ways.

The Care Map: What I Wish My Teacher Knew

Moms Talk Autism Podcast ·

2023/01/09

What did you wish your teacher knew?!?! I think that answer changes over time. It's static. And our experience and engagement with our educators can feel one or two-dimensional at most times. I will tell you what helps, though; it's drawing out your care map. Who freakin’ knew?!?! If you don’t know what that is, Google it. There is not one website I recommend over another, but knowing how to make a care map can serve as one of the foundational documents for parenting a child with any
