šŸ’Œ I dig you! šŸ’Œ

This Valentine’s Day sensory activity is a fun way to work on fine motor skills, attention, and independent play.
Using scoops or diggers, learners search through the sensory bin to find hidden heart treasures and collect them in the center bowl.

Bonus: Sensory play creates natural opportunities to practice requesting, turn-taking, and following directions ā¤ļø

STEM activities aren’t just fun—they’re powerful learning tools šŸ’”
Building, sorting, and experimenting help strengthen problem-solving, communication, and flexibility skills we target in ABA therapy.

Try it this week: give your learner a simple building challenge and model asking for help or requesting materials!

Social skills are learned—and play is one of the best teachers

In ABA therapy, we break social skills into manageable steps and practice them in natural, meaningful ways.

Skills we often target through play:
• Turn-taking
• Sharing materials
• Requesting items appropriately
• Responding to peers
• Waiting patiently

Try this at home:
Play simple board games or cooperative activities and model the language you want your child to use (e.g., ā€œMy turn,ā€ ā€œYour turn,ā€ ā€œCan I have a turn?ā€).

Small moments of play can lead to big social growth.

STEM learning can start with simple, everyday activities šŸ”¬

Sorting and categorizing are foundational skills that support problem-solving, math, and executive functioning. They’re also easy to practice at home!

Try this STEM activity:
• Use household items (buttons, blocks, snacks)
• Sort by color, size, shape, or function
• Ask questions like ā€œWhat’s the same?ā€ and ā€œWhat’s different?ā€
• Increase difficulty by mixing categories

This activity also supports language development and following instructions—skills we target often in ABA therapy.

Pro tip: Keep sessions short and fun. End while your child is still engaged!

Progress doesn’t always look like big milestones—and that’s okay šŸ’™

In ABA therapy, progress may look like:
• Asking for help instead of melting down
• Tolerating a new routine
• Waiting a few extra seconds
• Trying again after making a mistake
• Communicating in a new way

Every step forward matters. We meet each learner where they are and celebrate growth at their pace—because meaningful progress is personal.

Parent reminder: Celebrate effort just as much as outcomes. Confidence grows when children feel seen and supported.

January is the perfect time to reset and strengthen daily routines ā„ļø

For many children, predictable routines help reduce anxiety, increase independence, and improve learning outcomes. In ABA therapy, routines provide structure while still allowing flexibility for growth.

Tips for building strong routines at home:
• Keep morning and bedtime routines consistent
• Use visual schedules with pictures or icons
• Give clear, simple directions one step at a time
• Offer choices within routines (blue shirt or red shirt?)
• Reinforce effort—not just completion

Remember: routines don’t have to be perfect to be effective. Small, consistent steps create big progress over time šŸ’™
