We had such an amazing week! ✨️
Here is the finale to our Autism Awareness Month spirit week.
Self-Advocacy Wednesday: Self-advocacy means understanding and being able to communicate what you need and how you feel. When we respect when individuals say “Stop”, “No”, “I need a break”, or even non-verbal signals like pushing something away or turning the other way, we are honoring their autonomy. 💙
Regulation Thursday: Self stimulatory behaviors or “stimming” are repetitive movements or sounds that are used as a way to process and regulate emotions or energy. This could include jumping, spinning, humming, singing, hair twirling, nail biting, clapping, or even screaming. 😌
Flourishing Friday: Every brain develops at their own pace. Just like flowers in a garden, no two minds bloom in the same way, or on the same schedule. Everyday we get to watch many young minds as they develop and flourish. 🌱
Huge shout out to everyone who participated, clients and staff alike!
Everyone made this spirit week fun and engaging! 💛
