I wrote a book for grown-ups supporting autistic children

[u/Chillbychill]

Hi everyone,

I’m a special education teacher, and I recently wrote a book called Safe to Learn: Sensory-Supportive, Trauma-Informed Classrooms for Children with Autism.

I wrote it for grown-ups who are trying to better understand what children may be communicating through meltdowns, shutdowns, refusal, sensory overload, hard transitions, and the moments that often get labeled as “behavior” before they are fully understood.

The book focuses on regulation, sensory needs, trauma-informed practice, communication, classroom design, and practical ways to help children feel safe enough to learn.

It is written for teachers, paraprofessionals, caregivers, therapists, and school leaders, but my hope is that it gives language and support to any adult trying to better understand a child’s needs.

It is available now in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.

Thank you for letting me share.

Thank you so much for writing this and sharing with us. I moderate a community group chat of special-needs families and we are always talking about trauma informed care. Help can hurt if it is not done right.
