A loud YES 📍

Teach your kids that no matter how educated, talented, successful, or admired we become,
the real measure of who we are is revealed in the way we treat people.

Our degrees don’t matter if our words cut.
Our achievements don’t matter if our presence wounds.
Our intelligence, wealth, or confidence mean little
if they aren’t matched with humility, kindness, and respect.

Character is not something we claim —
it’s something others feel.

And children learn this not through lectures,
but by watching how we move through the world:
how we speak to those around us,
how we handle frustration,
how we repair after mistakes,
how we treat those who can offer us nothing.

Teach them that greatness isn’t what you collect —
it’s who you are when no one is applauding.

Because in the end, how we treat people
tells the truest story of all. ❤️

BUT WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?! 🤔

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and a severe phonological disorder can SEEM similar at first; however, when you take a hard look at the features, it really helps to differentiate the two!

Isolation increases vulnerability — especially for autistic individuals who may already face exclusion, misunderstanding, or a lack of support.

This , we encourage you to check in on the autistic people in your life.

Connection builds safety.

Let’s create a South Africa where no autistic person feels alone or unheard.

This week we are thinking about developmental milestones!

*Remember developmental milestones are a guide, and every child is different*

25/11/2025

It’s wild how easily we forget this:

humiliation has never made a human being rise.
Shame has never built cooperation.
Discomfort has never taught emotional safety.

We know this in ourselves —
the last time someone spoke to you with disrespect or made you feel small,
did you feel inspired to do better?
Or did something inside you shut down?

Children are no different.

If anything, their nervous systems are even more tender, their sense of self still forming, their trust in us the foundation they stand on.

Correction is necessary.
Guidance is essential.
But neither require wounding.

When a child feels seen, respected, and safe, their instinct is to meet you — to reconnect, to learn, to grow.

We don’t have to make them feel worse to help them do better. We just have to lead them in ways that honour their humanity, not compromise it. ❤️

🧩 Autism doesn’t look one way. No two autistic people have the same needs, strengths, or communication style. This is why support must be individualized.

Did you know a correlation exists between children with a speech/language delay and reading difficulties?

There is a strong connection between spoken language and literacy. We can leverage our expertise in language and its components (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) to prevent, assess, and support literacy skills!
