Managing Transitions

Transitions are when children move from one activity to another. Whether a child is at home, out in the community or in school, there are multiple times when one activity ends and another one begins. Examples of everyday transitions are going from home to school, moving from playtime to lunch,

Control, Rigidity, and Insistence on Same

Insistence on same is a term often associated with autism. I was with a family recently; a wonderful, supportive family of a child with autism, and I heard the word ‘control’ tossed around a lot. This word tends to cause problems in our field, partly because it’s really difficult to define. But

How to teach nose-blowing

Nose-blowing may not be the first skill we think about when we are considering what to teach our child, but many of us have found ourselves in the situation where our child has a head cold or runny nose but are unable to blow their nose. We know that if they blew their nose they would feel much

How Do We Approach Challenging Behaviour?

What's our approach to challenging behaviour? Well, we must first take the time to understand behaviour. All behaviour serves a purpose. We all engage in behaviours that 'work for us,' and stop engaging in, or refrain from, behaviours that don't work for us or for which the effort outweighs the

We absolutely love updates between sessions. We received this text today from a parent of a young boy with feeding difficulties. He rarely seeks out food, but then also often gets distressed at mealtime or if someone is asking him to eat. So our first step is just to get him more content with eating by introducing some basic routines and structure, choice, really achievable expectations, expectations, and just making it an overall positive experience.

We're so thrilled that we're still achieving these kind of results with remote and online supports.

If you have concerns about your child's mealtime behaviours, or if there's anything else you're struggling with, don't hesitate to get in touch to see how we can help.

Mindfulness and connecting with the present benefits all ages, but it can often be difficult for younger or very busy children to see the benefits. So it's very helpful to find meaningful and playful ways to embed brief moments of mindfulness into the day.

Here's one activity that we find many children enjoy. Have a competition and see who can walk the furthest.
