21.01.2022 Social stories are excellent teaching resources..... Below is a social story pertaining to communication.

19.01.2022 **Disclaimer** Permission was sought to share this post, and the author prefers person first language; therefore she identifies as autistic. Please read her words - as she has written her thoughts, pain, hopes and dreams so eloquently in the below post. ... Remember "Autism is not a tragedy. a missed diagnosis is"! Shylittlepixie

19.01.2022 This week I had clinical supervision, and one of the topics of discussion was self care; taking time out of my day to ensure my cup is full. When working with families, my focus is informal support selfcare, because if they cease to be able to function, how are they meant to keep going and support their loved ones. Yes, the families i support struggle to find that time amongst the appointments, phone calls, meetings and work. But when i set a task for the informal support to... do something for themselves, i follow up and ask what they have done. This post is my accountability post; i switched off my work phone at 1630, had a nap and am enjoying sometime at the beach whilst my son snorkles Enjoy your weekend, remember do something for yourselves.

08.01.2022 Its all about team work with this creation.... Myself and a Behaviour Support Practitioner (fellow Developmental Educator) created this visual story for a mutual person we support - Developmental Educator's are renowned for working as a team to assist the people we support to reach their goals - whatever they maybe.
