Stress Survey Schedule
We all know that people with autism experience greater stress than most due to the sensory, social, movement, and communication differences they experience. Most individuals on the spectrum are not able to tell us what specific situations increase their levels of stress. June Groden and her colleagues have developed the Stress Survey Schedule that I think many teams will find helpful. The purpose of the Stress Survey Schedule is to provide educators and parents with a tool to increase awareness of environmental stressors that affect the lives of people with autism. Such a tool can be used to create programming aimed at modifying stress reactions, thereby enhancing the quality of lives and overall physical and emotional well being of individuals with autism.
