Accompagner l'Autisme

Accompagner l’Autisme is an association established in October 2016 in Orléans, France, to support autistic children and their families. Its approach is built around coordinated, appropriately tailored support, with children and families placed at the centre of each support plan. The association works to promote children’s place in school and offers services for both families and professionals.

Its activities include training for parents and professionals, as well as personalised support at home and in educational settings. Accompagner l’Autisme also provides training for school support staff, including AVS and AESH. Its support workers may assist children at school through individual agreements with France’s national education system. The association also lists a network and a toy library among its areas of activity. Families and professionals can contact the organisation to learn about becoming members and to find out more about its services. Through training and coordinated individual support, Accompagner l’Autisme aims to help children and their families navigate everyday life and schooling.
