Clear, accessible health information is essential for autistic people and their families. OAR can help with these new free online resources focused on improving the health and wellness of autistic individuals.

Pathways to Wellness is a user-friendly e-book designed to support autistic individuals, their families, and professionals in promoting healthier lifestyles. Created by Eden II Programs, this resource offers simple, realistic strategies to improve nutrition and increase physical activity—two areas that are often challenging yet critical for long-term health and quality of life.

The Brain Club® Digital Resource Library for Healthcare helps people understand autistic health through the stories, experiences, and expertise of autistic people. All Brains Belong VT developed these free online webinars to support both healthcare professionals and autistic people in improving health outcomes through neuroinclusive care.

Appointment Mentor VR is an immersive, interactive virtual reality experience that helps autistic individuals build confidence and skills for navigating medical appointments. Created with autistic adults at nonPareil Institute, the game simulates a doctor’s visit experience in a calm, repeatable environment.

OAR funded these resources through its Community Grant program, which empowers community stakeholders to share their expertise and support health outcomes for autistic individuals. Explore all of the Community Grant Program health resources on our website.

Please share these resources in your community. Together, we can improve health, wellness, and quality of life for autistic people everywhere!
