Having the Kona ice truck come to school is a *berry* great way to beat the heat! 😋

Music has a unique way of connecting us.

Through song and dance, many children can learn to focus on shared experiences, look to others for cues, and engage in joyful interactions. This strengthens their ability to connect with others in meaningful ways.

These moments of shared rhythm and movement are not just therapeutic—they’re the foundation for building lasting social bonds. 🌟

Happy to feature our Printed by Hope shirt-printing business, which employs autistic adults! Thanks for visiting with us!

Play isn’t just fun—it’s a gateway to understanding! ⭐️

Sharing in a child’s interest is a wonderful way to build a connection! 🩷

Play is both a natural component of childhood AND a helpful therapeutic tool for promoting opportunities to practice a variety of important skills! 💖

Through play, we can “work on”…
✅ Communication
✅ Social interaction
✅ Turn-taking
✅ Psychological flexibility
✅ Perspective-taking
✅ Conversation
…and so much more…all without it feeling like “work” 😄

Child-led opportunities can be so beneficial because it allows the child take charge of their learning.

By following the child's interests and strengths, and motivations, therapists create a supportive environment that boosts engagement and learning. 💛🌱

📸 Captured a truly special moment: two friends not only opting to spend their free time TOGETHER, but also to SHARE an activity! 💙

What may seem ordinary to some, can be ✨extraordinary✨ in the world of autism.

That said, can you imagine the good it would do for those other “ordinary” parts of the world to ALSO celebrate friends for finding joy and connection in each other's company? 🫶🌎
