AASPIRE Healthcare Toolkit

The AASPIRE Healthcare Toolkit is a comprehensive online tool designed to improve healthcare experiences for autistic adults. Focusing on care with a primary doctor, the toolkit offers practical information, worksheets, and the ability to create a personalized healthcare accommodations report to help to make healthcare visits smoother—before, during, and after appointments.

The toolkit also helps healthcare providers become familiar with autism and learn how to better care for their autistic patients using best practices.

Developed by the Academic Autism Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education (AASPIRE) this toolkit reflects a commitment to improving the health and well-being of autistic individuals. OAR is grateful for AASPIRE’s dedication and expertise in developing this invaluable resource and is honored to partner with them to continue offering this resource by making it accessible through our website.
