Welcome to Autism Home Support!
Autism Home Support is a consulting business which provides tutoring, consulting, training and support for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Our goal is to provide information and links to parents in order to be better informed advocates for their children in the public school system, private school system or in their daily living environments. Other services we are currently looking to develop include training caretakers to watch children effectively for parents’ night out and social skills groups for all ages of children in the area.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
“Autism” – An Overview
Preface: In an attempt to cover Autism Spectrum Disorder, I have accessed resources from books to websites and applied my own knowledge of autism through teaching. Apparently researching Autism is quite a challenge, not because of a lack of information, but due to the overwhelming amount of information out there. Although many views on treatment and “cures” are still developing, I shared the system we use for Broward County schools and a few that I have researched that seem the most applicable for educators in public schools. Autism is no longer a disorder confined to centers and specialized classrooms. The necessity for information about autism to be shared has been created by the dramatic increase of the number of children diagnosed and the wide spectrum of settings these children have been placed in.

“I am a homeschooling mother of an 8 year old boy with mild autism. Jenn has tutored him once weekly for over a year and has made quite an impact on his education. Her consistent patience and creativity have contributed to his confidence in learning math and reading comprehension. She is able to break up the monotony of book work and he actually enjoys doing work book pages now. "Math girl" as my son nicknamed Jenn, is truly interested in Justin's education and she is a friend to our whole family now. Her knowledge of autism and sensory integration disorder keep her from being surprised by any behavior. Her continuing education thru seminars and conferences has been valuable. If there is a new development in autism research, Jenn knows about it and passes on the information. I appreciate her professionalism, flexibility, and kindness and I recommend her services to anyone struggling to educate a child with autism.”
