✨Just a reminder to PROGRAM those communication devices for upcoming holiday celebrations! ✨

🎄What are the items or activities particular to certain settings that I will need to be able to request?

🎄 How will I request a break when we need a minute to breathe? Where can I ask to go? What are my options?

🎄 What are my favorite greetings that fit my personality? What are comments I might want to say? Saying THANK YOU is important, too.

🎄 Don’t forget… I may need to ask for information, such as WHEN are certain things happening, WHO is going to be there, and WHAT is going to happen when we get there?

* And for those individuals that are set at ease when they’re able to see a visual schedule of events, we recommend the CHOICE WORKS app. It’s inexpensive, allows for a “done” selection, and an interval can be added if helpful for activities that are open-ended.

🎀 Did you know…

The 🎀 Sugarplum Fairy is a beloved Christmas figure from The Nutcracker ballet. She symbolizes sweetness, magic, and wonder, often seen as the benevolent ruler of the Land of Sweets, bestowing joy and treats.

🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬

The CS students have worked their magic again, creating their own Land of (handmade) Sweets! Our learners fill the hallways of CS with magic & wonder, leaving their fingerprint on every masterpiece they manifest.

Every piece you see was created using recycled materials. Can you guess the materials used to make the items pictured?

🎞️ Picture it: It’s May 23, 1919.

Mrs. Mary E. Murray, 3rd grade teacher at Alexander, is corralling her students for their class picture with legendary photographer, Mr. Grabill. Students are lined up on the porch steps of 1545 Coty Street.

Little Anne “Letitia” Eubank would keep her class picture for years, with it eventually being handed over to the team at LSUS Archives for preserving. Someone listed the third grade students by name. Does anyone know anything about these animated children pictured?

We love the rich history of old Alexander School & our Highland neighborhood so much, we thought we would share. ❤️

🎅🏽 We are LOVING this holiday season.
What can you do to make the holidays more enjoyable & engaging? Glad you asked!

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
1. Gentle introductions to the crazy lights, boisterous sounds, and the hustle & bustle of the holiday season are key! Daily exposure to the holiday elements allow kids to take it all in, one small dose at a time, without feeling overwhelmed. Frequent opportunities to explore holiday activities or stimuli help kids acclimate by going at their own pace, taking breaks when they need to. No forcing participation allowed! This allows them to experience the excitement & enjoyment of it all like we do!

2. Maintaining healthy routines, such as sleep & feeding schedules is critical. Be intentional about scheduling “me time” or downtime for your family. The consistency in healthy routines is good for us grown-ups, too.

3. Involve them in decorating, cooking, and other holiday activities, even if it’s on a small scale. Everyone should play a role.

4. Allow for ample practice to acquire the familiarity & skills needed to experience enjoyment. That may call for a little more repetition or exposure than usual, and that’s ok! See it as an opportunity for more memories to be made.

5. Be ok with saying “NO” to some things. Politely decline those events that are not tailored for your unique learner. It’s not a “NEVER”. It might just be a “NOT YET”. And do it guilt-free!

🌟 For those who get a little down this time of year because holidays don’t always look like what you thought they would… well, you aren’t alone! Lean on others who are experiencing a similar journey. You might be shocked at how much they needed you, too. ❤️

Therapists at Kid’s Clinic proudly serve a community of learners who may exhibit challenging behavior at times due to complex conditions or developmental delays. These behaviors can be responsive to treatment, but it’s critical to keep everyone safe during tough seasons of life!

Professional Crisis Management (PCM) training is a safety & crisis management system. The training focuses primarily on prevention & de-escalation of crisis behaviors before they become severe & unmanageable. PCM also includes safe, non-harmful physical intervention techniques only applied in cases of enduring aggression, self-injury, or property destruction.

CS staff are certified in PCM & have trainers available for those interested. Parents, caregivers, or local professionals- that includes YOU! Reach out if you’re interested in learning more.
