At home

As there is little dedicated research in the area of Autism and deafness there is currently very little specific written advice for families.  The world wide web has some helpful webinars and charity websites which seek to support families.   

It is important that any strategies advocated in any one education/health/social setting are shared with home and vice versa so there is a seamless approach.

 A CAMHS booklet ‘Helpful practices for those diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder’ offers ideas for use in some situations.
