Kids with ASD can often find it hard to deal with

Kids with ASD can often find it hard to deal with the change in weather and temperatures.

Finding a routine that helps your child to build skills in winter dressing, understanding the types of clothing needed for cold weather and also the reasons why it's important helps them to build the independent skills they'll always need.

Winter dressing is not always an easy task, but one that takes patience and lots of extra time too (!). How does your child do in winter dressing?

How has your ASD child reacted to going back to sc

How has your ASD child reacted to going back to school? Whether they're going in-person or virtually, the inconsistency of the school year is hard for any child to understand and manage over time.

Tips for helping your child through challenging times:

- Try to plan and stick to a routine that everyone feels good about (including you!)
- Reach out for support from other caregivers, family and external services
- Go with your gut - if you feel like something isn't working for your child, be empowered to find another way

What other tips do you have for our community? Please share!

Often children with ASD have a hard time engaging in free play. Our programs build this activity into skill building as it's an important one.

Being able to play freely and independently is part of the skill-based growth we focus on.

We often will help kids build their vocabulary using picture cards.

Picture cards help kids learn about all the things in their world - what they look like, what categories they fit in, how they work.

This type of play helps to build learning and functioning skills with repetition and memory at work!

An Autism diagnosis can be a scary time for a family.

Understanding what it all means for your child, finding the appropriate resources and developing a plan for therapy is a lot to manage and very often, stressful.

You don't have to go through this journey alone. Give us a call or email to find out how we can work together to support your child, and your family.

We get asked a lot about what ABA therapy is and how it works.

The general idea of ABA is that we teach skills and reduce challenging behaviours. Although this is a good start, it’s not very descriptive of what we do all day everyday!

ABA is the science of manipulating the environment to improve socially significant behaviour.

Does that give a good idea of what we do? Probably not. In other words, we observe what kids do and determine specific goals to improve their lives.

This may mean improving their learning potential, helping them to be more interactive with their peers or families, or teaching everyday routines like toileting or safety skills.

Two components that play an important role in this are

1) Setting goals based on each child's unique learning abilities and
2) Close connection and communication with the family to support those

Another program announcement is here! We will begin offering Respite Services to families soon!
