Autism Spectrum Disorder - Online Resource Transition Package

The Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - Online Resource Transition Package is a joint project between the Department of Education, Training and Employment (DETE), AEIOU Foundation and Autism Queensland (AQ). Consultation and collaboration has also occurred with the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services.

The online resource package has been developed to assist early intervention service providers (e.g. AQ and AEIOU), parents and teachers (Kindergarten and Prep) by providing information and resources to support children with ASD transition into Queensland schools.

The resource aims to provide a broad understanding of the support available for children and young people with ASD.

The information is divided into sections relevant to families and educators, as well as information regarding further learning and support.

If you require specific information regarding your individual circumstances, the following contacts/information may be a good starting point:

• Further learning and support
• Education for children with a disability - a guide for parents
• Education Queensland Regional Offices for any questions regarding state schools
• Autism Advisors for information regarding support and services for families and carers
• Autism Queensland Information and Helpline .
