The secret to the life of every parent raising a happy and healthy autistic child is organization. If you're the parent of a child with autism, you know that your lives became very complicated overnight following their diagnosis. There's so much more on your plate now, but with the proper tools and the right frame of mind, you'll be able to do it and come out the other side with a child who appreciates you boundlessly for catering to their needs, even if they may not ever be able to say it.

The Autism Planner includes 150 pages spread across 8 different categories to help you set goals with your child that will improve their ability to socialize with others and exist in a noisy, constantly-changing world, keep track of their performance in different categories on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, celebrate your child's accomplishments as they reach new milestones, and more.

Inside the Autism Planner, you'll find:

• My Child's Goals - What are the goals your child wants to set for themselves in the areas of speech and communication, social skills, and sensory issues? These are long-term goals you'll incrementally work toward each week, so encourage them to dream big!
• Activity Ideas - In this section, you can keep track of ideas for fun ways to improve your child's performance in various areas, from fine motor activities to processing visual and auditory information, speech, and more.
• Milestone Tracker - Keeping track of your child's goals is essential, but it's just as necessary to keep track of their accomplishments, too! Keep logs of the latest milestones and their dates to refer back to later.
• Books To Read Together - This handy page will not only allow you to keep track of books for you and your child to read together, but it also gives you a column to check off those books once you've gotten through them.
• Weekly Activities - Plan each week out one day at a time using the activity tracker. This keeps days from becoming overloaded and allows for a much smoother transition from one day to the next.
• Weekly Performance Tracker - Track goals and progress here, and make any notes relevant to your child's performance in five different areas that may be important in the future.
• Weekly Appointment Tracker - Keep track of appointments with doctors, therapists, relevant details, and more all in one place.
• Weekly Reflection - Each week is going to be different. With the weekly reflection page, you can look back on the week's accomplishments, challenges, and memories you now treasure. You can also make notes for the following week to get you started on the right foot.
