"My approach to intervention is rooted in respect for child development and focuses on making the mundane meaningful, looking at daily interactions as opportunities for learning and growth while respecting the uniqueness of the individual and family. It’s about setting high expectations for long term quality of life and relationships for individuals on the spectrum and implementing a specific and doable plan to get there one step at a time.”

Visuals Visuals Visuals

Where would we be without visuals?  My most difficult days are often the ones where I have forgotten to bring my planner, the adult version of a visual support.

Visuals can take some of the anxiety out of every day situations allowing our kids to be more available for dynamic thinking.

I recently came across this site that has many pre-made visual supports and simple video clips explaining possible uses for each.
