The information sheets in the list below have been designed to be accessible by an audience that includes education professionals, but that also includes family and community members interested in programming for individuals on the autism spectrum. They are jargon-free (or include links to definitions when jargon is unavoidable), include more examples and scenarios and fewer lists of facts than our fact sheets, and they do not presume any prior knowledge on the part of the reader. We have dubbed them "information sheets" to distinguish them from our "fact sheets."
