westie Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Check out this website, it has LOADS of downloadable resources on it relating to ASD - even social stories, picture symbols and all sorts! http://www.askbruno.org/resources/resources.php Below is a bit of background and information about the whole site (the link is just to the resources section but you can go to the home page and have a look around! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AskBruno has been produced by members of Warwickshire's support service for pupils with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This site is a further development from the 'ASD Toolkit for Teachers' a Cd Rom that was given to all Warwickshire schools. The aim of this 'Toolkit' was to give mainstream teachers a basic understanding of ASD along with some pointers to appropriate strategies and good practice. It also contains hundreds of examples of resources that the Autism Team developed and used successfully. The Autism Team are now part of The Integrated Disability Service (IDS - see the 'About Us' chapter). Many of the resources on this site have been transferred directly from the 'ASD Toolkit for Teachers' whilst we were part of the Disability Integration Sensory Communication Service (DISCS). Although there are many new and updated resources some will still contain the DISCS logo and website instead of the IDS logo. We hope you find the information, resources, and opportunity to share and ask questions helpful. Feel free to download them but please take the time to give us some feedback through the ASK Bruno question section (tick the 'Feedback' category when you post your comments). In the understanding section you will find general information about the autism spectrum, some of its sub groups, and related disorders.There are resources and links to further information. If you cannot find what you are looking for then Ask Bruno in the questions section and he will do his best (with a little help from his friends!). Questions can be browsed by category or key words. In the resources section you can browse through all the resources on the site. You may filter them using one of the key categories on the left, e.g. 'communication' or by type of resource (Word, video etc) by the drop down menu on the top right hand side. If you are looking for guidance about what training you may need or is available have a look in the training section. Information about tips, strategies and good practice can be found in the good practice section Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westie Report post Posted February 26, 2010 I know, there is so much on there I have been down list and downloaded a couple of things but there is such a lot I think it will take some time to look through it all! The ASD mind map or the PDA mind map are pretty useful for schools I have seen these before. Think they are pretty much at the top of the list so not too difficult to find.
