Did you know that we run a variety of Groups and Workshops for children, youth, and their families and caregivers?

Due to Covid restrictions, we've been doing some of our programs virtually. Our plan is to reestablish smaller groups this coming Fall to meet in-person. Stay tuned here for those announcements!

How is everyone doing during this second (and first full) week of school and back to routine? Because of the uncertain times, it feels more transitory than "normal" and we've found that we must really support our patients and students with focus and organization.

Many times, this happens with good communication to and within the family about what activities are needed and how time will be spent. Taking time out for play and rest is just as important to as working on goals.

Most kids are now back in the classroom this week & for those living with #Autism, the transition can be stressful for the entire family.

Our suggestion is to avoid the tendency to tackle everything all at once. It may feel like you need to get a million things done or prepared, but in reality focusing on a few choice priorities can create confidence and build progress over time, for you and your child.

Would love to hear your suggestions on transitioning back to routine this Fall too!

💡Fun with Math!💡
🎯Roll a dice and practice copying the way the dots are laid out. This helps with quick number recognition!
🎯Practice writing the # in numeral form and by tallying!
🎯Count out the number on a number line!
🎯For more of a challenge roll 2 die and practice your addition and subtraction skills! 📝

If you have a page protector at home you can make this a template and use a dry erase marker!

💡Number Match 💡
🎯 Write out numbers in random order on a big sheet of paper
🎯 On post-it notes you can either write out the matching numeral or to make it a little more challenging you can write out the matching quantity
🎯When matching quantities, you can count the dots together before matching to the numeral 💯

💡Reading Activity 💡 📖Reading is a priorit

💡Reading Activity 💡
📖Reading is a priority for all young children and there are lots of ways to incorporate various activities into story time to build literacy skills regardless of your child's age or ability! 🎯For early readers, sitting for a story might be your focus. Start with a page or two and try having your child turn the pages. 🎯 In a story like The Very Hungry Caterpillar by @officialericcarle you can try having your child point to various 🍎🍊🍐🍇, colours, say their favorite fruit, etc!
🎯 For a bit more of a challenge you can try having your child draw a picture of a character or something that happened in the story, make predictions about what they think will happen next, or how characters are feeling.
🎯Re-telling stories is a great way to build reading comprehension. Start with putting 3 sentences in order (either numbering the sentences or writing them out in order!). You can also try identifying the title, author, characters, setting, etc! 📚

💡Word Splat! 💡
Here's a fun activity that works on reading/sight word identification, writing, and turn taking! 🎯Write out short sight words on small pieces of paper or cue cards (extra challenge! Your child can try writing the words!)
🎯Spread all the words out on the floor and take turns calling out a word and see how fast you can 'splat' the word! 🎯We added shapes into the mix to give my other son a chance to play, too 😀. You could also add in numbers, shapes or pictures!

If you have some stuffies around to be 🙌cheerleaders 🙌 we found it was even more fun 🎉

💡Slime Day💡
This is a great activity for anyone who likes to get their hands a bit dirty! 🎯 You can find lots of recipes for slime on the internet but we did this: (everything is approx)
1/3 cup white glue
2 cups shaving cream
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2Tbsp water
Mix and then add some food colouring
Then add 1-2 Tbsp or contact solution
Knead until it becomes fluffy and shiny
🎯 Enjoy your slime!

💡making Jewelry💡
Beading a bracelet or necklace is a great way to make patterns and to strengthen fine motor skills! 📿
And with Mother's Day coming up it's a great homeade gift! ♥️
🎯 You'll need some beads and string
🎯 Try starting a pattern for your child and having them finish it
🎯 If your child is just starting to learn how to string beads you can do the initial step for/with them and once the string is through the bead, your child can pull it all the way through. 📿

💡Hand Prints💡
This is a super easy and fun craft with a few ways to add in some extra challenges! 🙌
🎯 Get some paint, brushes, and paper
🎯 Paint your hand in whatever way you wish! We had fun incorporating some patterns...my fingers were blue, purple, blue, purple, etc. 🎯 Press your hand on the paper and see how it turns out! 🎯 ✨Extra Challenge ✨Write the different parts of the hand at the top of the page and ask your child to match. 🎯✨Extra Challenge ✨ If the whole family takes part you can line up all the hands in order of size 🙌
