As an Occupational Therapist I've been tired of watching kids with Autism / ASD struggle with play and schoolwork that is too hard for them. Finding therapists with experience is difficult and there are often long waiting lists. The Theracrew website was created to provide parents and teachers with specialist learning activities that they can do at home, at pre-school and at school. The ideas behind our products have all originated from working with particular kids with Autism / ASD, where our therapist's needed to create something unique, because it simply didn't exist anywhere else.
It just seems to be common sense to provide kids with Autism / ASD with play and schoolwork adapted specifically to the way they learn. Every product contains visual strategies / instructions using the Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) from Boardmaker TM. Its amazing how much longer kids can concentrate for when activities are targeted towards their learning style.

Hi,
My 6 year old son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3. One of the struggles we've had was clarifying his functioning level with educators.
I found and used this tool on the site http://www.autismsupportsforyou.com and found it very user-friendly and helpful. Parents are asked to complete a survey that asks questions from a parent, caregiver or educator about a child’s particular learning style and needs. Based on that feedback, it generates a report of individual strategies that can be applied immediately. This was created by a mom with a child on the Autism Spectrum and group of educational consultants, it's really cool. I Hope parents find this as beneficial as we did.
Best regards,
Soni
