Autism support

Visual daily evidence for students with autism.

Log the day on a visual, predictable check-in for social communication, routines, and sensory needs. Each entry becomes IEP progress data and a family update, written once.

Visual, predictable charts support how students with autism learn.

Many students with autism respond best to structured, visual feedback. A traffic light chart with clear green/amber/red zones provides immediate, low-anxiety status cues without requiring verbal processing in the moment. And because the layout stays the same every day, the student knows exactly what to expect. The same consistent daily data becomes family communication and meeting-ready evidence.

Visual, predictable status that becomes IEP data.

Visual Traffic Light Charts

Clear, predictable visual format that works well for students who benefit from structured, color-coded feedback. Green, yellow, and red zones give immediate, low-anxiety status cues.

Social Communication Goals

Pre-built IEP goals for pragmatic language, conversational turn-taking, understanding nonverbal cues, and initiating peer interaction. Designed for social-pragmatic communication needs.

Routine & Transition Tracking

Track morning arrival routines, classroom transitions, and end-of-day procedures. See which routines are mastered and which still need visual or verbal prompting.

Sensory Accommodation Tracker

Document noise-canceling headphones, movement breaks, sensory tools, reduced visual clutter, and other accommodations. Rate what works so the team can make informed decisions.

IEP Goal Monitoring

Track goals with binary, frequency, duration, trial-based, and interval recording. Autism-related goals are easy to find in the searchable goal library.

BIP Builder

Build Behavior Intervention Plans with target behaviors, replacement behaviors, antecedent strategies, and data collection plans. Export as a professional PDF.

Progress Reports

Generate PDF reports with per-goal trend charts showing progress over weeks and months. Ready for annual reviews and parent conferences.

Common questions
Why traffic-light and visual charts for autism?

A predictable green/amber/red format is easy for students to read and for you to log: the same visual the student sees becomes the data behind the IEP goal.

Can I track routines, not just behaviors?

Yes. Log visual-schedule steps, transitions, and routine independence alongside behavior, so progress on daily structure is documented, not just incidents.

Does it cover social-communication IEP goals?

Pre-built goals for social communication, AAC requests, peer interaction, and conversational turn-taking map to IEP progress monitoring from the same daily check-ins.

Can families see updates in their own language?

Growth notes translate into the family's language, so parents follow the same routine and social-communication progress you track in class.

Track routines, not just behaviors

Bring a dated record of which supports the data backs up.

Log the visual schedules, sensory tools, and social stories you use alongside routine and behavior goals, each with a date and an effectiveness rating. Export it as a PDF for the IEP review so the team sees what was tried and what the data showed.
