Post-Primary Autism Class Back to School Resource Pack

A practical collection of ready-to-use resources designed for post-primary autism classes, helping you get to know your students, support student voice and regulation, and make those important first days and weeks a little easier.

This pack includes a mixture of getting-to-know-you activities, visual supports, regulation activities and practical resources that can be used with individual students, small groups or as a whole-class activity.

What's included:

Getting to Know Me & Me at School

Two student voice activities exploring students' interests, strengths, important people, school preferences, worries, support needs and what helps them feel supported at school.

Would You Rather? Getting-to-Know-You Game

A relaxed, low-pressure activity with a mixture of fun and meaningful choices. A great way to start conversations while learning more about students' interests, preferences and learning styles.

My Battery Activity

A two-page activity introducing capacity and energy. Students explore what drains their battery, how they know when their battery is getting low and what helps them recharge.

My Bucket Activity

A two-page visual activity exploring the things that can build up or "fill our bucket" and the strategies, people and activities that can help to empty it.

My First Week Reflection Sheet

An end-of-week check-in where students can reflect on what they enjoyed, what they found difficult, their favourite and least favourite subjects, and how they could be better supported in the following week.

Blank A4 Timetables

6-period and 9-period blank weekly timetable templates ready to adapt to your own school day.

Mini Lanyard Timetables

Compact 6-period and 9-period timetable templates that can be printed and used as portable visual supports.

The resources are designed to be simple, practical and flexible, while giving students meaningful opportunities to communicate what works for them and helping staff begin to understand each student as an individual.

Perfect for preparing your autism class for the new school year and supporting those all-important first few weeks.
