During the summer, its important to have a litany of outdoor summer activities planned. ⠀ You can also write down a big list and go through it with your child so that they can choose the ones they feel most comfortable with. 📋 ⠀ Give them a diverse range of activities and outings. This can include going to the park, museum or zoo. 🐅 ⠀ Allowing your child the opportunity to choose their own summer activity can allow them to more effectively make choices going forward. This is an important part of learning choice-making skills and communicating what they want in a calm manner. ⠀ How do you offer your kids choices in what they do, and what do you find has worked well?

We're heading into birthday party season as summer approaches!🎈 ⠀ If your little one is having a birthday party coming up, it's important to keep these following tips in mind to make sure everything goes smoothly. ⠀ Parties of any kind can be very stressful for kids with autism so here are five reminders that can help when planning an autism-friendly party that all kids will enjoy... ⠀ 1️⃣ Keep it short and sweet - Parties, especially for kids with autism, can quickly become overwhelming. Limit the duration to ensure everyone stays comfortable and engaged. 🎂 ⠀ 2️⃣ Pick a comfortable location - Choose a venue that is familiar and sensory-friendly for the birthday child. Consider factors like noise level, lighting, and space for movement. ⠀ 3️⃣ Carefully plan the activities - structure the party with activities that cater to diverse interests and sensory needs. Provide options for both quiet and active play to accommodate all guests. ⠀ 4️⃣ Decide the best way to give gifts - some children with autism may feel overwhelmed by the tradition of opening gifts in front of others. Respect their preferences by offering alternative options like opening presents privately or after the party. 🧸 ⠀ 5️⃣ Consider treat alternatives - be mindful of dietary restrictions and sensory sensitivities when planning treats. Opt for alternative options like allergen-friendly snacks or non-food items to ensure all guests can indulge safely. ⠀ Discover more ideas here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d8WjBBm5 ⠀ #Autism #AutismAwareness #AutismFamily #AutismSupport #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ABATherapy

Deep breathing can be a great way to manage sensory overload. 🌬️ ⠀ If you can successfully show your child that a relaxation method like this will prevent and stop meltdowns, and they'll be more inclined to try it out. ⠀ Start by having a conversation and showing them how to take deep breaths to calm themselves down. Then let them know that they can use this technique anytime there is an unexpected change in routine or a sensory overload. ⠀ Find out more about how ABA Therapy can assist 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/ewMUE7ft ⠀ #Autism #AutismAwareness #AutismFamily #AutismSupport #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ABATherapy
