The holidays are often described as "the most wonderful time of the year," but for many families, they can also be the most overwhelming.
Changes in routine, packed social calendars, and sensory overload from new sights, sounds, and smells can be incredibly challenging for children with autism or sensory sensitivities.
But "overwhelming" doesn't have to be the whole story. You can build holiday traditions that work for your unique family.
We're sharing 5 simple strategies to help you prepare, modify, and adjust your plans to make the season a little more merry and a lot less stressful. The goal isn't a "perfect" holiday. It's a peaceful one that honors your child's strengths and barriers and works for your entire family ✨
Want more help? We've put all these strategies and more into a free printable holiday prep guide!

It's only early November, but we know that many parents are already feeling that familiar knot in their stomachs when thinking about the weeks ahead.
Changing schedules. Crowds. Sensory overload. "Well-meaning" questions from relatives who don't quite understand. Unrealistic expectations. And for some - exhaustion, guilt, and a genuine curiosity if anyone else is feeling the same.
Your feelings are valid and you're definitely not alone. 🤍
Follow along this month as we share practical approaches to help you prepare for the holiday season with confidence. Not to make everything perfect - but to help you protect your family's peace, honor your child's needs, and still create space for connection.
What's one holiday hurdle you'd like to jump this season?

It’s the most magical - but for some, the most stressful - time of year. A little bit of proactivity now can help make the time between now and the new year a special one, even amidst the chaos. 💀➡️🎅

Building foundational skills doesn’t always need to be a formal teaching moment.💥
Sometimes it’s just those small, natural learning moments at the library, the grocery store, or around the house that build confidence and strengthen the foundation for everything that comes next. 📚✨
What’s one ordinary moment you’ve noticed growth lately?

We're leaning all the way in to the Halloween spirit 🎃
ABA activities should be fun! BUT the real value is in knowing exactly what you're targeting and why...
👻 "I see some leaves on the ground - what color is this leaf?" (receptive identification)
👻 "What shape means we can cross the street?" (community safety)
👻 "Tell me what you see on that scarecrow's face!" (expressive language)
👻 "Can you hand me the small orange bead?" (receptive language with features, functions, classes)
👻"What color comes next in our pattern?" (visual perception, matching to sample)
When the look on our client's faces says: "Wait... that was work?!" That's the ABA therapy sweet spot 🍂
