Could you be missing some of the less obvious ways autism presents in young girls?
Autistic girls may appear happy, sociable, imaginative and settled in nursery, while quietly experiencing difficulties that are not immediately recognised.
Developed by Jen Staunton, specialist SEND educator, former Early Years Ofsted Inspector and founder of Every Kind of Mind, this practical 16-page resource pack helps Early Years practitioners look beyond common stereotypes and better understand the children in their care.
What's included?
Observation prompts to help recognise subtle differences in communication, social interaction, play, interests, and emotional and sensory wellbeing.
Practical, neurodiversity-affirming strategies that can be used in everyday nursery situations.
Reusable observation and reflection sheets to help practitioners consider individual needs and review support.
Parent and carer discussion prompts to explore children's experiences at home and strengthen partnerships with families.
Designed to complement existing Early Years and SEND practices, these resources encourage practitioners to notice patterns, listen to families and make small, meaningful adjustments without waiting for a formal diagnosis.
£29.99 | Instant Digital Download (PDF)
Includes a single-setting licence, allowing observation and reflection sheets to be printed and reused within the purchasing nursery or Early Years setting.
These resources are not diagnostic tools or developmental checklists.
