🌿 The importance of collections and the meaning behind them!

For autistic children, collections and favorite things hold incredible power! This collection of DVDs represents more than just entertainment; it’s a treasure that serves as a source of comfort and joy.

The autistic brain often thrives on order, favorite characters, numbering, patterns, and sequences. These aspects create a sense of familiarity and security that can make a significant difference in their daily lives. The memory of order is vital, helping them navigate their world with confidence and ease.

🌿 Abslotley love our "My Safe Place" cards. Helps others to understand what the optimal safe and comfortable environment is for your little fern or maybe someone you are supporting, especially when sometimes we are unable to communicate that in the moment.

Hard copies available at our NEV hub but also in the kids packs in ED. We will also be popping this up as a printable on our website!
