Free printable handouts for families after an autism diagnosis, in 9 language versions
For clinics, hospitals, schools, early intervention programs, parent groups and autism organizations. Each handout is one printed page. It gives a family the first steps they can take at home this month, and its QR code opens the full free 4-week plan, which needs no sign-up to read.
- Week 1: watch and write down. Week 2: make the day predictable. Week 3: help your child communicate. Week 4: handle hard moments.
- When to talk to a doctor, how parents can look after themselves, and what to do while waiting for services.
- The plan's videos, and the free picture-schedule, reward-chart and social-story makers it links to, are in English.

If your child was just diagnosed with autism, here is a free plan for the first month at home: four weeks of small, practical steps you can start this week, on a phone, with no sign-up.
The plan is written by Special Learning, Inc. The page also mentions an optional paid parent course; the plan itself is free to read and use. Sharing it does not mean your organization endorses Special Learning.
