Look How FarFree printables for parents of autistic children
Free printable sheets for parents of autistic children: logs for writing down what happens, and visual supports — a schedule, a feelings chart, a token board. PDF for A4 and US Letter, one page each, made for black-and-white printing. No sign-up, no email.
Write down what happens
Logs and records: a few lines on paper often show a pattern that memory hides — and give you facts for the school or a specialist.
ABC data sheetOne row per episode: before, behaviour, after.
Five lines after an episodeA log for meltdowns and other hard moments, written when things are calm.
Food diaryOne week per page: offered, eaten, what you noticed.
Toilet training chartSix steps in pictures and a week of tries, successes and accidents.
Home–school notebookOne page per day between home and school or nursery.
All about meOne page for a new teacher, carer or doctor: how your child communicates and what helps.
Visual supports
Pictures that answer “what’s next?” and “how do I feel?” without many words.
Visual schedule for the dayMorning, afternoon, evening: twelve steps and sixteen pictures to cut out.
First–then boardTwo big boxes, a short day plan and eight pictures to cut out.
Feelings chartNine faces to point at, your child’s own words, and what helps.
Feelings thermometerFive levels from calm to too much — what each looks like and what helps.
Token boardTwo boards (5 and 10 tokens), a picture of the goal and stars to cut out.
White boxes are for what you saw. Grey boxes with ? are for guesses. A fact is not a guess — the same rule as in our notes, and in Look How Far.
Print as many as you need and share them with your child’s school, nursery or therapist. The examples on each page are filled in by a fictional family.
Which printable to start with
If hard moments are your main worry, start with the behaviour log or the ABC chart: two or three weeks of entries usually show when episodes happen. If mornings and changes are the struggle, start with the visual schedule or the first–then board. If your child cannot say how they feel, start with the feelings chart.
Made by parents, for home
These autism printables are written for parents, not for clinics: plain words, one page, an example filled in by a fictional family on every page. They work for children with or without a diagnosis, and for siblings too.
Questions parents ask
Are these printables really free?
Yes. Download, print and copy as many as you need for your family, your child’s school or therapist. No sign-up and no email.
Which paper size should I choose?
A4 for most of the world, US Letter for the USA and Canada. Each sheet is one page and prints well in black and white.
Can I give the sheets to my child’s school?
Yes. Many of them work best when home and school use the same sheet — the home–school log, the visual schedule, the feelings thermometer.
Do these sheets diagnose autism?
No. They are for observations and everyday support. They do not diagnose and do not replace your child’s doctor or specialist.
