As 2025 comes to a close, we’re feeling all the feels 💜

This year was full of growth, connection, and those little moments that remind us why we do what we do. And who better to tell that story than our own team?

Swipe through to hear reflections from the amazing humans behind Connect n Care, sharing the memories, lessons, and highlights that made this year so special. ✨

We’re so proud of what we’ve built together, and even more excited for what’s ahead. Here’s to 2026! 🎉

2025 may be winding down... but your momentum doesn’t have to.

Let’s head into 2026 with routines that actually work, for your child and your family.

🔬 Research shows that autistic children thrive on structure and predictability.
Routines support emotional regulation, lower anxiety, and help make the world feel more manageable.

But most “new year” parenting advice isn’t built for your reality.

At Connect n Care ABA, we understand the power of a well-designed routine, because we build them with families every day.

✨ As 2026 approaches, here are 3 tips to help your child (and your household) start strong:
1️⃣ Anchor transitions with visuals or cues
2️⃣ Break routines into bite-sized, repeatable steps
3️⃣ Be flexible: value progress over perfection

Small changes can create big shifts. And you don’t have to do it alone.

💬 Want help figuring out a routine that fits your child’s needs?

Let’s talk in the comments, or follow us for more family-first support, grounded in care and science.

As the year winds down, we want to wish our families, team members, and community a holiday season filled with warmth, joy, and meaningful moments.

May this time bring you rest, reflection, and connection with the people who matter most.

We hope everyone enjoys a safe, peaceful, and truly restful break, you deserve it. 💜🧡

Thank you for being part of our Connect n Care family. Wishing you happiness now and into the new year ✨

Having a hard time transitioning into winter break?
You're not alone. Routines shift, structure disappears, and suddenly the days feel long and unpredictable.

💡 But here's the good news: You don’t need a perfect plan. Just a flexible one.

At Connect n Care ABA, we help families build routines that breathe, ones that support your child’s needs while still leaving room for joy and rest.

✨ Try this:
→ Create a simple visual schedule for the day
→ Build in sensory breaks (walks, trampoline time, fidget play)
→ Set soft anchors like “after breakfast we…” or “before bedtime we…”

These gentle structures give your child the predictability they crave, without locking you into a rigid plan that adds more stress.

🧠 What you’re modeling is flexible structure, a skill that supports emotional regulation, independence, and connection.

Because winter break doesn’t have to feel chaotic.
It can feel supported.

💬 Want a printable visual schedule or ideas tailored to your child? Send us a message or visit our site to learn how we support families like yours.

You’re not meant to do this alone, and you don’t have to.

✨Holidays are supposed to be magical...
But for families of children with autism, they can also feel overwhelming.

🎄Too much noise.
🎁 Too many people.
🕯️Too many changes.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And here’s the good news: holidays can still be joyful.
Even if they look a little different. 💜

Swipe through for practical, compassionate tips to help you and your child enjoy the season, on your terms:

👉 Create a visual schedule
👉 Prep for sensory challenges
👉 Set realistic expectations
👉 Have a “safe space” plan
👉 Choose traditions that work for you

Remember: there’s no one “right” way to celebrate.
The most meaningful moments come when we follow our child’s lead, honor their needs, and give ourselves permission to do things differently. 🌟

💬 What’s one holiday tradition you’ve adapted that brings your child joy? Let’s learn from each other.
