I love this interaction so much because it shows the growth in this child!

Every child thrives off social engagement and subtle challenges.

If you don’t know how to challenge your child or the kids you support send me a DM and let’s chat!

Instead of putting your child in a box and just receiving therapy based on diagnosis, wouldn’t it be better to find out exactly what your child needs?

Once you know how to follow a child’s lead the next thing you need to learn is how to attune to the child’s communication and regulation.

After you master that, next comes challenging the child within their comfort zones so they bloom!

If you need help learning to do this, reach out to me!

Bored of doing the same thing stuff in your therapy sessions each week? Guess what, so are the kids you support.

Changing my space is my favorite thing to do once I notice stagnant repetitive play in my sessions.

How often do you change your space around?

Learning to challenge your child is the most important thing you could ever do as an autism parent.

Please hear me on this, I say this with the most respect and love!

I have seen what lack of challenge can do for children through my cousin Hailey. She is 45 and was never challenged to use a fork herself, never challenged to drink out of a regular cup, never challenged to dress herself, never challenged to throw away her trash. She could have done all of these things but my aunt was too afraid to teach her. We can’t be afraid to challenge a child.

All kids can learn and grow, but how far they can go depends on what the parents are doing at home.

If you need help with this. Send me a DM, I’d be happy to connect with you and explore how we could work together!

This child will sing all day in front of the mirror but using spontaneous language is still a goal for him. I’m ready to see his speech blast off!!

Professionals: put aside your therapy goals and focus on what truly matters, relationship!

Parents: your child wants to connect with you and these moments promotes development!

And never forget, Connection is the intervention.

These moments can be really challenging for parents.

My advice is to focus on your calmness and regulation, stay present, and support the child through it. It’s best not to distract or move a child on too quickly.

If you’re a parent and need customized support just reach out to me!

Just remember, it’s not the child’s fault you are boring
