I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to you in this space. I have longed for the opportunity to reconnect with parents and offer support, education, advocacy, and care as you journey through parenthood with an autistic child. Thank you for joining us, and I trust that this community will provide you with a sense of belonging, community, and solutions to your daily questions

My son had been having a really hard time in the mornings transitioning off his show to go to school. We used a variety of strategies but the evidenced based strategy of a social story seemed to REALLY Help him! Inside the classroom in Parent Power in 5, I share a little bit about social stories, go check it out!

I just uploaded a quick Q&A session on replacement behaviors in the classroom section. For you to be able to access it, remember this is a gamification site, so the more you post/share/comment and people do the same to your comment, thats how you get points! Its a way that helps motivate you all to participate bc we know we are all tired and busy! But share away so you can keep Accessing more in the classrooms!

I just wanted to share my amazon storefront it has a variety of my favorite toys, books for your child, sensory items, parent education, and more!. https://www.amazon.com/shop/learn.love.autism?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_7Z9NKP6JBBQN74SP49VF

I created this routine with my older son who is 9. Every night before bed we do roses and thorns, what is something you are happy/proud/excited about what happened? And what is something that made you feel down/sad/embarrassed/defeated? So i bring this tradition to you! Please share a rose or a thorn! We are here for you!
