Every gesture, word, movement, and moment of connection counts. Communication is bigger
than speech and every form is valid💙

How long should toddlers pay attention? 👀
Not as long as you might think!

When we expect 15+ minutes of focus from a 2-year-old, we’re setting ourselves (and them) up for frustration. 😮‍💨 This visual is a quick reminder of what’s actually developmentally appropriate.

🌟 Tip: Use this when you’re planning playtime or setting realistic expectations during activities!

📌 Save this post so you can come back when you need it!

Did you know this?

Scott & Balthazar (2010) emphasize that weak grammar means weak understanding. Under-emphasized grammar issues like these often play a bigger role in comprehension difficulties than we realize.

Think of moving through written or spoken language like navigating a road map: vocabulary gives you the destinations (words), and the broad layout (macrostructure) tells you the general route. But it’s the sentence-level grammar, the specific turns and intersections, that directs your journey. When that sentence-level structure is muddled or overly simple, it’s like missing road signs and makes it hard to reach your destination.

April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month, and this year our theme is celebrating differences.

We recognise and value that autistic people bring diversity ways of thinking, communicating, sensing, and experiencing the world—enriching our communities with varied perspectives, creativity, and unique ways of engaging. Acceptance means creating spaces where these differences are understood, respected, and supported.

You can download our Autism Acceptance Month booklet here:

Let’s continue building a more inclusive and accepting society for all.

Every barrier we unlearn opens space for someone with a disability to welcome inclusion. Let’s keep building a Western Cape where possibility isn’t limited by perception.
