Transition Triggers
The 3 biggest transition triggers 👇
1️⃣ Leaving a preferred activity
2️⃣ Moving to a non-preferred demand
3️⃣ Unclear expectations
Fact: Studies show children with autism may struggle more when shifting from high-interest activities to low-interest tasks due to differences in reward processing and flexibility.
Instead of:
“Time to stop. Let’s go.”
Try:
“Two more minutes of iPad, then dinner.”
Use a visual timer.
Let them push the timer button.
Giving small control reduces power struggles.
Behavior is communication.
What is your child communicating during transitions?
