A Neuro-affirming Staff Starter Pack for Autism Classrooms

4 Shifts We NEED to Make in Autism Classrooms
1.5 hour • self-paced • lifetime access

Inside, we help teams:
👉🏼 Understand Gestalt Language Processing
👉🏼 Explore multimodal communication
👉🏼 Use the multimodal checklist to guide individualized supports
👉🏼 Move toward strengths-based learning
👉🏼 Honor autistic play and build connection through shared interests
It introduces shared language, shared expectations, and shared values — a powerful starting point for aligning your whole team.

Understanding Autism: A Guide for Paraprofessionals & Support Staff
3-part self-paced video training • 60-page handbook
This para-focused training helps support staff understand autism through a neuroaffirming lens, clarify their role on the team, and build confidence in the moments that matter most.
It includes guidance on:
👉🏼 daily communication supports
👉🏼 echolalia and gestalt language
👉🏼 multimodal communication
👉🏼 proactive transitions
👉🏼 sensory needs, co-regulation, and self-regulation
👉🏼 independence vs. over-prompting

This series changes that.
+ The Para Handbook (Digital PDF): Perfect for onboarding and ongoing learning throughout the year.
Includes:
👉🏼 Short, simple topic pages
👉🏼 Editable forms (IEP-at-a-glance, duties list, student notes, behavior plans)
👉🏼 Key terms and definitions
👉🏼 Quick reminders rooted in dignity and presuming competence
👉🏼 Quote posters for quiet encouragement
You can introduce pages gradually across the school year — supporting learning without overwhelm.

Hey! I'm Tara!
I’m a speech-language pathologist who spent over 25 years running a communication-based classroom for young autistic children.
During that time, I watched the way we teach and support autistic students evolve—and I made it my mission to stay at the forefront of research and strategies. My top priority? Building positive, trusting relationships with my students.
In 2019, after losing my dad to leukemia, I needed something to pull me out of the darkness. That’s when I started creating resources for educators and parents—because I knew what it felt like to feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.
Autism Little Learners was born from that season of grief, and it has grown into my passion: helping educators and parents reduce overwhelm, see progress, and celebrate small wins that build on each other.
I love connecting with you, sharing what works, and cheering you on as you make an incredible difference for your students.
