Health and Puberty Resources

In this section you will find activities that are centred around Health and Puberty. These lessons are in a sequential folder and it is important that you teach them in order, to ensure your child builds a solid understanding. These lessons are best completed a few times before moving onto the next phase.

The video beside is from https://raisingchildren.net.au/autism/development/physical-development/preparing-for-puberty-asd.

In this short video, parents and experts talk about how children with ASD experience puberty. They note how it is good idea to talk about puberty early with your child with ASD, so your child has time to adjust to the changes. You’ll also hear from parents who share their stories and experiences of supporting children with ASD who are going through puberty.
