My Autism Navigator is a place to support you as you learn strategies to support your child’s learning in everyday activities. You will find ideas to inspire you each day along with a journal for you to enter text and photos to track little successes to capture your child’s changes. You will also find answers to Frequently Asked Questions and a Wellness Center that offers suggestions for taking care of you.
My Autism Navigator is designed for families of children 1 to 8 years of age who are concerned about their child’s social communication development, challenging behavior, early signs of autism, or have a child diagnosed with autism. It’s also for their intervention or educational team, with more features coming soon.
My Autism Navigator is a companion to our Autism Navigator How-To Guide for Families online course. You can access both from anywhere, anytime. You can earn awards for journaling, watching videos in the How-To Guide course, and attending How-To Guide webinars.
Here are the sections in My Autism Navigator with a brief description of each. See sections below for more details and how to enroll in the How-To Guide for Families.
