Educator Resources
The Autism Circuit is a project-based at ESC Region 13 and funded by a grant from the Texas Education Agency for the purpose of providing professional development to educators working with students with autism spectrum disorder. Autism Circuit provides free, ready-to-print, evidence-based tools for teachers.
For every tool you will find:
- An explanation of how and when to use it
- Printable templates and resources
- Links to opportunities to further your knowledge on the evidence base for that strategy
Tools are sorted into four categories: Behavior, Communication, Social, and Classroom Organization. The toolkit is also searchable by skill, setting, behavior, or tool name.
