Back-to-School Resources for Every Age and Stage 

Heading back to school can be exciting and challenging for students and families in the autism community. The Autism Society of Maryland (AUSOM) is here to support you with resources for every step of the journey.

Visit our Back-to-School Resources web page to access online resources and recorded webinars, as well as tips from our Resource Coordinators.

• • Preschool – Early learning strategies and sensory-friendly tips
  • Elementary & Middle School – Classroom supports, IEP guidance, and social tools
  • High School – Transition planning, self-advocacy, and life skills
  • Parents and Caregivers – Webinars, resource links, online guides, and self-care strategies

It’s okay if things don’t go perfectly right away. Starting school is a big deal, and it takes time to adjust—for children and grown-ups. Celebrate small wins, expect some bumps, and give yourself grace.

And remember, AUSOM is here for you. Whether you need a listening ear, ideas, or support along the way—we’ve got your back. Please reach out to us at 410-290-3466 or info@autismsocietymd.org to speak with a Resource Coordinator.

Here’s to a great start and a year full of growth, discovery, and joy!
