Winning this dedicated communication device would help me to quip more people with language to say what they want to say to build social relationships and make friends. My passion is to educate the wider community about people with complex communication needs.

Parents are the most important guides for their child's neural development.

Parents are the most important guides for their child's neural development.

One of the things that distinguishes us from what others do is our focus on neural rehabilitation, instead of social skills training. Since mental challenges are the ways that the brain develops increased neural mental complexity, our programs train parents to facilitate opportunities to allow students to safely explore and experiment with the mental challenges; the problems, concepts and ideas that are one step ahead of the current level of understanding.

A great visual tool to assist children to learn breathing techniques

Feeling Stressed? Instead of following the typical prescribed strategy of โ€˜take a deep breathโ€™, try square breathing to clear your mind and reset
Square breathing involves:

Gently inhaling through your nose for the count of 4 (inhale +1,2,3)
Hold breath for count of 4
(hold +1,2,3)
Gently exhale through your mouth for a count of 4 (exhale + 1,2,3)
Pause and hold for the count of 4 (hold + 1,2,3)
The visual image of the square helps to set an intention to regulate your breathing and let go of stress.
For kids, have your child follow the outline of the square with their finger to visually assist with slow and purposeful breathing.

Responsive interactions are fundamental to brain growth and are the core foundation skill of every RDI program that we create. Have you heard the term โ€œserve and returnโ€? It's a term used in the context of child development to describe responsive back and forth interactions between children and the people who care for them. This is a great reminder of the science behind why we focus on the guiding relationship

Serve and return interactions shape brain architecture. When caregivers are responsive to children's signals, they help them build critical skills.
