Hospital Program for Autistic Kids

A children’s hospital is launching a groundbreaking program to ease hospital visits for kids on the autism spectrum, thanks to a grant from the RSW Foundation. Designed with input from autism experts and inspired by a successful model elsewhere, the initiative provides staff with visual tools, social stories, and sensory-friendly resources to better support neurodivergent children. Upcoming training led by a coordinator from the original program will equip staff with vital communication and sensory strategies, ensuring every child receives compassionate, tailored care — turning a stressful experience into a more positive one.
