Autism School Year Prep Planner

Get your child ready for a great school year — personalized checklist + teacher intro letter, ready in minutes.

New school year, new teacher, new routines — and approximately 1,000 things to figure out before the first day. This planner builds your personalized back-to-school checklist and writes a teacher introduction letter you can send before school starts. Both are ready to print or copy. Just answer a few questions below.

Step 1 of 3

Tell us about your child

Your child's name *

We'll use this throughout to personalize everything for your family.

What grade is your child entering? *

Choose the closest match — this shapes the checklist items and letter tone.

What kind of school transition is this? *

This helps us flag the paperwork and communication steps that matter most for your situation.

What are your child's primary challenges? (pick up to 3)

Not sure? Pick what's been hardest in the last school year, or what worries you most heading into this one.

How does your child communicate? *

This helps us tailor the teacher letter's communication section.

Does your child have an IEP or 504 Plan? *

IEP and 504 holders get additional paperwork checklist items and an advocacy tips section.

Fill in your child's name, grade, transition type, communication style, and IEP status to continue.
