Support your Autistic and neurodivergent students with this professionally designed, neuroaffirmative School Communication & Regulation Passport. Developed by Amanda McGuinness of Little Puddins, this editable and printable resource provides a comprehensive yet accessible way for families and schools to co-create a profile that honours each student’s identity, communication, sensory, emotional, and relational needs.
