START developed this page as part of the ASD 365: Equity and Inclusion Every Day campaign to promote autism acceptance and advocacy through action in April and the months after. While this action is important in April, we also need to consider our actions throughout the rest of the year. We encourage you to use these resources to assure you are using practices focused on equity and inclusiveness that value the voices and perspectives of the autistic community. An active, collaborative approach that involves listening, understanding, and taking action will help us grow into a truly diverse, equitable community where all perspectives and people are heard and valued.  

Information and resources shared on this page will be continuously updated.

START presents these resources to provide guidance and broaden your thinking. As you begin or expand activities focused on individuals with ASD, we ask that you use these resources to assure you are using practices focused on equity and inclusiveness that value the voices and perspectives of the autistic community. These resources will be a continuous work in progress informed by ongoing discussion and relevant publications and materials. Any use of these resources must be premised on the user’s own professional judgment as to the appropriateness for their district, community, and student(s), and be undertaken in accordance with all applicable district policies.
