Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey Day may mean changes in schedules, traveling, loud noises, unfamiliar people, different foods and not just a little chaos! Here are some tips that you can try and to share with others that may help your child enjoy the day and help others understand their needs:

(1) Share with your child what to expect. Consider a picture schedule, a written schedule or a conversation that can help your child understand what sights, sounds and smells might be involved in the holiday.

(2) Anticipate what might create anxiety or meltdown and take a break before the child becomes overwhelmed. Don't force engagements or expectations and let them know it's okay if they need to be in a quiet place rather than with guests. Allow play in a preferred activity or with a favorite toy.

(3) Have a favorite holiday food available. Let them eat what and where they are comfortable, even if it may not be with the rest of the family.

(3) Let your guests know about sensory needs: that a lack of communication or affection is not personal but that your child has limits for them to be comfortable.

Creating a Thanksgiving environment for autistic children isn't about achieving perfection--it's about offering understanding, flexibility and genuine care. Gratitude is shown not only in words but in how we make space for one another.

We can create a Thanksgiving celebration where autistic children feel safe, supported and truly at home.

💙 New Virginia Law Helps Healthcare Providers Better Understand Autistic Children

A new Virginia law focuses on making healthcare visits easier and more supportive for autistic kids.

Here’s what it means in simple terms:

👉 Healthcare licensing boards in Virginia must now recommend special training for doctors, nurses, therapists, and other health professionals who work with children.

👉 The recommended training teaches providers:
• How to recognize autism-related behaviors
• How to communicate more effectively with autistic children
• How to respond calmly and safely during challenging moments

💡 Why this matters for our kids

✔ Fewer stressful appointments
When providers understand autistic behaviors, visits feel smoother and less overwhelming.

✔ Better communication
Doctors and nurses get guidance on how to talk to autistic children in ways that support their needs.

✔ More informed, compassionate care
Providers gain tools to handle sensory overload, emotional regulation struggles, and behavioral challenges with patience and understanding.

🧡 The bottom line

This law helps Virginia move toward more consistent, autism-friendly healthcare — so our kids feel safer, calmer, and more supported during medical visits.

If you’re raising a child on the spectrum, you already know how big feelings can appear fast and sometimes without warning. Having a toolkit of calming strategies can make those tough moments feel a little more manageable — for both of you. 💛

Here are some gentle ways to use the calming strategies in the chart when your child starts feeling overwhelmed:

🫁 Take deep breaths
Try modeling slow breathing or use a visual (like blowing bubbles or a pinwheel). Many kids respond better when they can see the breath.

📚 Read a book
Keep a favorite sensory-friendly book nearby. Familiar stories can bring comfort and predictability in moments of stress.

🎶 Listen to music
Soft, rhythmic music or their favorite calming songs can help regulate emotions. Some kiddos love noise-canceling headphones too.

🥤 Get a drink
Cold water or a warm drink can be grounding. Sipping gives the body something repetitive and soothing to do.

🔢 Count to 10
Counting can feel structured and safe. Try counting together or using visual number charts.

🧘 Do some yoga
Simple movements or stretches can release tension. Even one or two gentle poses can help reset their body.

🧘‍♀️ Meditate / Calm corner time
A quiet corner with soft items, visuals, or a sensory tool can become their safe space when things feel too big.

😊 Think happy thoughts
Prompt them with something they love: “Remember how fun the park was?” or “Think about your favorite character.” This helps shift focus.

🧸 Hug a stuffed animal
Deep pressure can be incredibly calming. A favorite stuffed friend or weighted plushie works wonders.

💛 When to use these:
• When you see early signs of overwhelm (fidgeting, pacing, covering ears)
• Moving from one activity to the next or after lots of noise or activities in loud, crowded spaces
• During meltdowns — not to stop the feelings, but to support regulation
• As part of a daily routine to build coping skills before stress even starts

You’re doing an amazing job, even on the days it doesn't feel like it. 💕
If you’ve found a calming strategy that works especially well for your child, share it in the comments — we learn so much from each other. 💬🤗

Every Milestone Matters 💙

Watching your child grow — learning a new word, sharing a smile, mastering a new skill — fills every parent’s heart with pride. For families of children with autism, progress can feel uncertain or hard to measure. At our Applied Behavior Analysis center, we understand that every child learns at their own pace, and every small step forward deserves celebration.

Our board-certified behavior analyst designs individualized therapy plans that track growth in communication, social, and daily living skills — so you can see the progress your child is making in real time.

From the first session with our Behavior Therapists, the focus is on meaningful progress — the kind that builds confidence and independence for your child and peace of mind for you. Through compassionate, evidence-based care, we turn goals into milestones and milestones into moments of joy.

At Integrated Behavior Services, LLC, we believe progress isn’t just about charts or data — it’s about helping your child shine in their own unique way. 🌟

🍲❤️Would you or your business partner with us to create blessing bags of food for our children and families?

Integrated Behavior Services, LLC along with Connections ChildCare and Learning Center would like to partner with local businesses and individuals to create blessing bags for our children and their families.

These would be bags filled with nonpreishable food items.

We would need approximately 50 bags to send one home with each family and would be distributed the week of November 17.

Would you or your business be willing to partner with us donate nonperishable food items?

Integrated Behavior Services Clinic team in Covington (located inside Connections) wanted to have a healthy Halloween Costume competition with the School based team. Both teams dressed as characters from the Inside Out Movie.

As ABA professionals, behavior is what we do! That often includes teaching coping skills to deal with big and small emotions!

We think BOTH groups rocked it!!

10/29/2025

Integrated Behavior Services school based team had a great time tonight at Ronceverte Elementary School's Spooktacular.

As Behavior Specialists, we work with a large range of emotions and what better way to represent this than dressing as characters from the Inside Out movie.

Some of our favorite quotes from the movie:

“Feelings are something you have; not something you are.”

“The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood.”

What an AWESOME team!

10/17/2025

Our amazing team at Integrated Behavior Services had a blast helping to host kids' carnival games at Jeter Watson’s Pumpkin Palooza as the “emotions” from Inside Out!

Helping kiddos explore their feelings in a fun and interactive way is what we do best!
