Visual Support Tools for Autism is an independent educational website created by Ashlee Savia DeConinck. These terms explain the purpose of the information and how the free resources may be used.
Education, preparation and navigation
The website shares lived experience, general educational information, practical visual tools, and links to outside support. Ashlee is a parent, published author, visual resource creator and former direct support professional. This website does not provide clinical care, diagnosis, individualized treatment, legal representation or emergency assistance. Reading it or contacting Ashlee does not create a clinical, therapeutic or attorney-client relationship.
Use the materials alongside the person’s own communication preferences and individualized support, appropriate professional assessment, required school or healthcare records, and applicable agency procedures. No resource or intervention is presented as suitable for everyone, and no outcome is promised.
Urgent concerns and local requirements
For immediate danger or an urgent health concern, contact the appropriate emergency service or healthcare professional where you live. Do not wait for a website reply. Laws, emergency numbers, professional qualifications, funding and service eligibility vary by location. Check current requirements with the relevant authority or qualified professional.
Free printable samples and permissions
You may download and print the free sample pages for personal, classroom, caregiving and professional support use. No purchase, account or email address is required. Keep the author credits and notices. This permission does not include selling the samples, republishing the books, or presenting the materials as your own work.
For republication, adapted materials, uses beyond the free samples, or reuse of family photographs or quoted correspondence, contact Ashlee about permission. Third-party permissions may also be needed. These terms do not restrict uses or rights available under applicable law.
Private information and completed forms
Completed worksheets can contain sensitive information. Keep them current, store them securely, and share them only through the agreed school, care team or agency process. They are not uploaded to this website. Do not send private medical or education records, identifying documents, or urgent requests through the contact email. Read the privacy notice for information about email inquiries, hosting and optional analytics.
External services and professional directories
External websites, retailers, directories and payment services operate independently and have their own terms and privacy practices. A link or directory listing is a starting point, not a guarantee of quality, suitability, availability or current qualifications. Verify credentials with the relevant authority and ask about scope, experience, fees and fit before engaging a service.
Recognition and professional feedback
Recognition excerpts describe correspondence, publication or feedback in their stated context. Role and organization labels identify the source of a response; they do not establish an organizational endorsement, partnership, sponsorship, accreditation, adoption, clinical evaluation or guaranteed result. Quotes are selected excerpts, and any material limits on the response are included beside them.
Accuracy, accessibility and corrections
Sources and checked dates help readers see where information came from and when it was reviewed. External pages, laws and services can change. Confirm information that affects a real decision with its source or the appropriate professional. Accessibility information describes available reading options and known PDF limitations.
To report a broken link, an access barrier, or an attribution or permissions concern, email [email protected]. Include the page address and a brief description, without private records.
