Abstract
Individuals with autism may face multiple challenges throughout their lives. The challenge of transitioning into the school environment can be supported and navigated through accommodations, modifications and interventions. Addressing the challenges that students with autism face in the areas of communication, visual support and sensory regulation assists in providing a successful transition into the formal education setting. When children with autism are provided strong support in the beginning of their educational career, they grow their independence and build skills needed to be successful within the educational setting. Accommodations and modifications are essential to providing an equitable educational experience for students with autism to receive and access a free and appropriate public education.
