I am using our blog to share resources that I have explored online, specifically for children with Autism.  These resources should support your child's sensory needs while you are at home:

Dear CSSI Families,

Please find a link below that is providing free emergency at home kits to families:

Also, here are some helpful life skill ideas that your child can be practicing while at home:

-making his bed

-helping to clean up dinner (load dishwasher, put plates in sink etc.)

-practicing dressing independently (including zippers, buttons or velcro)

-sorting items in the kitchen 

-helping with the laundry (putting away towels, for example)

In the weeks ahead, we will be posting more helpful suggestions for your families.  Please keep well and healthy.
