Our students are learning about democracy today by holding their own elections for things like Best Champ, Best Noodle, Best School Subject, and Best Activity. Everyone is making their own "I Voted" badges to show off their participation! #BestTeachers #Education

🌟 Did you know your charitable contributions could have double the impact? Many employers offer donation matching programs, which means they will match your contributions to eligible nonprofits! This is a fantastic way to amplify your support for causes you care about. Check with your HR department to see if your company has a matching program and make sure to take full advantage of it! Together, we can make a difference! 💪💙 #CorporateGiving #EmployerMatch #Philanthropy #MakeADifference

✨Appreciation Post✨ Our San Antonio school recently received a generous donation of Amazon Fire tablets! This support has been instrumental in enhancing our students' learning experiences through interactive and visual tools. The tablets empower our students by supporting individualized learning with customizable apps designed for communication and social skills development. The large screens enhance visual learning, and the built-in accessibility features, like text-to-speech and screen readers, allow students to navigate the curriculum with greater independence. Thank you to our donors for believing in the power of technology to transform education! Together, we’re making a difference! 💙📚 #autism #technology #education #learning #donate #giveback #appreciation #grateful #communitypartner

📚 As the new school year gets started, here are some helpful tips to support a successful and positive school year! 🌟 1. **Create a Visual Schedule:** 📅 Use visual schedules or charts to help your child understand their daily routines and expectations. Visual aids can make transitions between activities easier and more predictable. 2. **Plan for Sensory Needs:** 🎧 If your child is sensitive to noise, light, or other sensory input, consider noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, or a sensory-friendly fidget toy. Talk to teachers about creating a sensory-friendly space if needed. 3. **Establish a Routine:** ⏰ Consistency is key. 4. **Practice Social Skills:** 🤝 Role-play common school scenarios or social interactions at home. Practice greetings, asking for help, and making friends to build confidence. 5. **Communicate with Teachers:** 🗨️ Schedule a meeting with your child’s teacher to discuss their individual needs, strengths, and any accommodations that might be helpful. Open communication ensures everyone is on the same page. 6. **Set Up a Calm-Down Corner:** 🛋️ Create a quiet, comfortable space at home where your child can retreat to if they need a break. This can be a great way to help them manage stress and sensory overload. 7. **Encourage and Celebrate:** 🌟 Celebrate small victories and efforts throughout the year. Positive reinforcement can build self-esteem and motivation. 8. **Stay Organized:** 🗂️ Help your child keep track of assignments and materials with a planner or organizational system. This can reduce stress and improve time management. Remember, every child is unique, so tailor these tips to fit your child’s specific needs. Here’s to a fantastic school year filled with growth, learning, and success! 🎉📚 #BackToSchool #AutismSupport #SchoolTips #ATCofTexas #Autism

A Journey of Growth & Joy - Since 2016, Elijah has been a cherished member of the ATC family, attending both our school and clinics in Dallas. Initially enrolled in the local public school, Elijah faced challenges in having his unique needs met. It was through ATC's dedicated services that Elijah began to thrive in ways his family had always hoped for. Elijah’s journey at ATC has been transformative, particularly in his communication skills. Through speech therapy, Elijah has made remarkable strides in expressing himself with greater ease. His father has noted a significant improvement in family interactions, as Elijah can now share his thoughts and feelings more effectively. “Elijah is always excited to go to school each morning, and he loves Ms. Clair!” his father shared. In addition to his progress in communication, Elijah has benefited from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Elijah’s ABA therapists have provided valuable solutions to challenging behaviors, further enhancing his daily life and interactions. Outside of his accomplishments at ATC, Elijah has a vibrant personality. He delights in Filipino food and pizza and finds baths to be incredibly calming. His family’s summer tradition of traveling to Destin, Florida, brings Elijah so much joy as he loves standing in the waves. Elijah’s father is deeply grateful for the support ATC has provided. “I don’t know where Elijah would be today without ATC’s school and clinics,” he remarked, reflecting on the profound impact our programs have had on his son’s life. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors. Your contributions make it possible for ATC to continue offering these life-changing programs that support children like Elijah in reaching their full potential. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey and for helping us make a difference in so many lives.
