Keep the Easter celebration going! I actually use eggs like these in my Speech room all year long to hide objects/pictures, label the objects, color identification, work on prepositions, following directions, increasing expressive language, etc. The possibilities are endless and the kids LOVE these activities. I’ll be using mine as dinosaur eggs this week 😊 Keep playing and keep talking 💗

Happy World Autism Awareness Day ❤️💙

Today is World Autism Awareness Day - or as I like to call it, Awareness and Acceptance! If you know me, you know kids on the spectrum are my favorite kids to work with! I have learned so much from these amazing kids- as well as autistic adults, and am so grateful for that!

For the awareness part, I just want to say that Autism is a CONSTELLATION of characteristics. It can be difficult to identify and can be easily missed because it’s often misunderstood and over generalized. For a person to have an autism diagnosis, there will be some of differences in: Language (red), socialization (yellow), and repetitive/restricted interests and behaviors (blue). Notice I wrote “may” a lot- nobody will do all things on this list, these are just some examples! For more, visit www.mrsspeechiep.com/autism
