Creating support for your child on the spectrum


Please View our video "Through Autistic Eyes", then read on...


Having autism is a life-long struggle!

The world IS confusing for a child on the spectrum, we dash here and there, we change our minds, talk in riddles and use body language, KNOWING those around us will respond to what we are thinking or saying. These are the unwritten social rules by which we live.

Typically a child on the spectrum WILL NOT understand the un-written social rules. A child on the spectrum WILL prefer things to remain UN-ALTERED, the same, calm and steady, NO sudden changes, suprises or alterations to routines. This WILL only lead to anxiety and stress.

So in a typically fast moving "Ever Changing World" how do you HELP your child with Autism cope?

Keeping things steady and calm using autistic supports


There ARE various autistic supports available to HELP children on the spectrum cope with and better understand the World and people that ARE around them.

Such as:


Commonly VISUAL SUPPORTS work better for children on the autism spectrum

WHY?

Because children with autism tend to be visual thinkers and learners, meaning that they think in images/pictures using speech/language as secondary.

Using Visual Supports for Autism


 "Social Skills Deficits" ARE the most common characteristic of autism.

Social skills deficits WILL affect how your child thinks, acts, re-acts and processes information.

Social skills deficits affect development in social awareness, cause communication difficulties and a lack of imagination.

By introducing visual supports YOU can help your child learn skills and behaviours that they would normally struggle with.
