Child-Led Autism Resources | NCSE Relate

CalmNotQuiet resources are informed by and strongly aligned with the principles and practice described in NCSE Relate. This child-led, neuro-affirming bundle brings together three complementary resources designed to support communication, participation, autonomy and access throughout the school day. Timetables & Transitions gives children accessible information about what is happening now, what comes next, what is nearly finished and what has changed. It includes 75 symbol cards, six colour-coded Student Packs, visual sequences, Now, Next & Later, Getting Ready to Change, Taking a Break, My Choice, Telling You What I Need, Change of Plan, Coming In, Going Home, My Day and My Week. Communication Boards give children accessible ways to communicate what they are experiencing, choosing, needing or saying. The boards include communication for feelings, body and senses, participation, choice, transitions and everyday needs, with response options and a portable transition board. Getting to Know Me helps children share who they are, how they communicate, what helps them, who matters to them and what is important to them. It includes four boards, a shared Response Library, Communication Initiators and a Choice Library. Together, the three resources create a two-way approach: the environment gives the child accessible information, and the child has accessible ways to communicate back. They can be personalised using photographs, symbols, drawings, writing and the child’s existing communication methods. Designed for autism class teachers, SNAs and any child who benefits from accessible visual support.
