Ensuring a Great Start to Kindergarten for Kids with ASD
DOWNLOAD PRESENTATION SLIDES
When a child with autism transitions from preschool to kindergarten, it involves more than a new backpack and pencils. It is a major milestone for your child and for your family. Helping your child prepare for and thrive in kindergarten is possible with research and a strong understanding of your child's academic, social and emotional needs.

Maggie Oliver, M.Ed.

Author, Kindergarten and ASD: How to Get the Best Possible Experience for Your Child
Maggie Oliver is a special education teacher for Akron Public Schools and an author and columnist on the topic of educating students with autism. When a close relative was diagnosed with autism at age three, Oliver delved into all available resources to learn how to support this child. She realized that she needed both information and inspiration. That is what Oliver offers as she joins with parents, educators, and community professionals to create the supports every child needs to fully experience life in all stages.
