Transitions can be challenging for children of all ages, whether they are autistic or neurotypical. Developing consistent and effective transition strategies not only enables kids to get on with their day and to shift from task to task as needed, but smooth transitions cultivate their emotional regulation overall.

No child wants to feel upset and dysregulated for any amount of time. As we work to co-regulate our kids - helping them transition happily from task to task - we are supporting development of their self-regulation. As they experience more positive transitions, they will feel calmer and more safe in home and school environments.

And this builds a foundation of joy and meaning in their lives!
