22.01.2022 What you see doesn’t always reflect what’s on the inside. Just because your child isn’t smiling doesn’t mean they’re feeling nothing People with autism often use body language and social behaviours differently to others. It’s important to learn and understand how your child’s body language and behaviours reflect what they are actually feeling.

20.01.2022 When a child is triggered, there are two moments where regulation strategies are useful in supporting your child back to a regulated state. During the peak stage, your child is using all their energy to manage the big emotion in their body that they are unable to listen and use regulation strategies. Be present for your child and keep them safe during the peak stage. When they are ready, slowly reintroduce regulation strategies to bring them back to calm.

16.01.2022 It’s easy to focus on the challenges that come with being on the autism spectrum. Sometimes it seems like this is all that is talked about when the topic of autism comes up. However, being on the autism spectrum is about having the ability to see and interpret the world differently. We learn so much from our children with autism. They have so many strengths and abilities that amaze us. What are some of the strengths you see in your child?

16.01.2022 Having goals for your child is great! It’s so important to work with your therapist to understand what skills are necessary to develop in order to achieve your desired goal.

14.01.2022 Research shows that positive reinforcement is one of the most successful methods of behaviour management strategies. Focus on your child’s positive behaviours, rather than their challenging behaviours. When you see your child doing great things, making good choices, being kind, and following instructions - highlight those things!

12.01.2022 Autism Awareness Month is all about breaking the stereotypes. Common things people with Autism hear include: You don’t look like you have autism - Autism is an invisible disability. It has no single ‘look’. Only boys have autism - Autism is more commonly diagnosed in boys; however, awareness and understanding of autism in girls is increasing. ... People with autism can’t make friends - Although social interactions can be difficult, individuals with ASD still want to form meaningful connections with those around them. See more

11.01.2022 Tracking a child’s behaviour often reveals an underlying pattern. Finding the root of the behaviour (antecedent) and observing the consequence of the behaviour often reveals the reason for the behaviour and helps us to understand how to provide appropriate behaviour and regulation strategies.

08.01.2022 Visual Perception Skills are built on: VISUAL DISCRIMINATION: the ability to determine differences and similarities in objects. VISUAL CLOSURE: the ability to make sense of things that are only partially seen. VISUAL MEMORY: the ability to recall visual traits of an object ... VISUAL-SPATIAL RELATIONS: understanding the relationship of objects within the environment. VISUAL-SEQUENTIAL MEMORY: the ability to recall a sequence of objects in order. VISUAL FIGURE GROUND: the ability to locate something in a busy background. VISUAL MOTOR INTEGRATION: combines visual perception and fine motor skills. See more

04.01.2022 One of the most common misunderstandings we come across is the difference between sight and vision. Unlike sight, vision is the process of deriving meaning from what is seen. Why do we allow a 12 year old to cross the road by themselves, but not a 4 year old? They both see the car but the 12 year old has developed the skills to judge distance, speed, and space. Eyesight is seeing the car, vision is understanding how to get across the road.

03.01.2022 As the new term roles around, it’s also time to review goals. Before looking at what skills your child still needs to develop, it is so important to look at how far they have already come. Recognise the progress that has been made. No matter how big or small, progress is progress and it is worth celebrating! Let us share in the celebration! - What progress has your child made?
