A candid moment. My mom (Sharon Gainforth) is an SLP and started a toy company 30 years ago so she could have access to the best educational toys for her autistic clients, I had the most important role… her trusted toy tester…. Looks like some jobs remain the same.

Message to Every Parent!!

Give Yourself Grace This Week

The first week back to school can feel like a whirlwind… new routines, new teachers, new emotions, and a whole lot of adjustments for both kids and parents. If you’re feeling stretched, tired, or even second-guessing yourself right now, please know: you are not alone.

Transitions are rarely smooth. There will be bumps, meltdowns, forgotten lunches, and mornings that don’t go as planned. But those bumps aren’t signs of failure, they are part of growth. Every time your child struggles, learns, and tries again, they’re building resilience. And every time you show up with love, even when you feel imperfect, you’re teaching them the most important lesson of all: grace.

Take a breath and remember, you’ve already done something incredible. You’ve raised a child who is stepping into new spaces, learning new things, and discovering the world in their own way. Their potential is limitless, and your steady presence is their greatest anchor.

So this week, be kind to yourself. Celebrate the small wins, laugh off the messy moments, and trust that the process of adjusting is leading to growth for your child and for you. You are doing better than you think.

Your child doesn’t need perfection. They need you , the parent who loves them, believes in them, and keeps showing up. That’s more than enough. 💙

From your RealWorld family, we are here for you, we support you and we absolutely believe in your children!!! You got this!!!!

The Gift of Lining Up Rocks

Today I watched something beautiful unfold in the sandbox. A beautiful childsat quietly, carefully lining up their rocks in the sand. To an outside eye, this might look like “just” repetitive play; something many adults might be tempted to stop or redirect. But instead, we chose to lean in and help them.
And that choice made all the difference.

Respecting Their Way of Learning

For autistic children, structured or repetitive play isn’t meaningless, it’s purposeful. Lining up rocks brought them joy, calm, and predictability. By honoring that, we showed them: Your way of exploring the world is important. We value it, and we value you.

Building Trust and Connection

When we joined them, they knew they weren’t going to be stopped or corrected. That created safety. Trust. A sense that we were on their team. And because of that trust, something magical happened…

The Spark of Spontaneous Communication

As they searched for “the right rock,” we celebrated with genuine excitement when they found it. Our enthusiasm was contagious. They began spontaneously imitating the words we were saying, repeating them, experimenting with them, playing with their sounds.
The rocks became more than rocks ... they became opportunities for language.

Singing, Sharing, and Purposeful Play

We sang together, turning their play into a joyful rhythm of words and songs. What started as lining up stones blossomed into purposeful play filled with connection, laughter, and growth. By the end, they had added lots of new words to their vocabulary, not through drills or forced lessons, but through an activity they loved, supported by people who believed in them.

Why This Matters

When we choose to support rather than stop, we open the door to trust, learning, and communication. What may look like “just lining up rocks” is actually a bridge... a way to connect, to learn, to share joy.

And today, that bridge was built one rock at a time.
