The Autism Network site has lots of free resources for special needs teaching and learning. They also have an active forum with many like minded parents and professionals, all willing to share experiences and help.

The site also offers some useful information about Autism and related conditions like ADHD, PDD, PDA – look in the side bar on the left to find out more about these.

I’ve always been a fan of the BBC’s Newsround TV show and website, as they provide current news which is more appropriate for children to read. Simon Widdowson recently shared this fantastic version of the site which is even more accessible.

The site has a much simpler interface with less distractions and it will even read the news to you. It is also accessible to those to use switches to use a computer and you change the settings to make the site even more appropriate for your needs.
