Rainbow Resource Kit

Our Rainbow Resource Kit provides comprehensive information to parents of newly diagnosed children to support them in understanding their child and a range of autism strategies they can use. The packs contain a range of six specialised booklets and resources, including:

• A positive start for life: Explores the importance of connecting with your child and using a structured approach when developing and learning new skills.

• Communication and Socialisation: Building skills including attention, turn taking, eye contact, and listening through age appropriate activities.

• Play: A range of practical ideas for developing Play skills which are vital building blocks for child development, particularly social and reciprocal play.

• Making Sense of Sensory: Understanding a range of strategies to understand sensory differences and regulate their child’s individual sensory profile.

• Parent to Parent: This booklet, written by a group of parents, discusses a range of considerations for families including daily living skills, behaviour, independence and impact on siblings and other family members.

• Top Twelve Tips: Used as a ‘quick reference guide’ to support parents and other family members/carers throughout their autism journey and maintain confidence in their knowledge and skills.
