Waiting is not "No" | Video Lessons for Autism

Waiting can be hard for all of us. Waiting can be especially hard for Xavier if he doesn't distinguish delaying versus a flat out "no". VIDEO LESSON BREAKDOWN: In this video, watch Xavier: 1) Go at his own speed 2) Get told to stop and wait 3) Drop to the floor and hurt a friend out of frustration 4) Use a visual timer to help wait and see that the preferred activity is in fact coming 5) Use a toy and singing with friends to wait patiently 6) Review what patience waiting looks like (calm body and calm hands) ------------------- Social Academy Kids™ videos are made by Xavier's real life mom to reinforce the lessons he's needed to master at school and at home. In Social Academy Kids™ video lessons, Xavier and his teacher Ms. K address issues of communication, behavior, social and sensory challenges commonly faced by kids with autism in a fun and entertaining format. These videos can also open doors to meaningful and practical discussions of strategies between professionals and their students. Social Academy Kids™ videos never seek to change who the child is, but seek to help viewers improve their ability to engage with their everyday environments in a world that's not always designed for them. And why should people with developmental disabilities always be expected to adapt to their environments?! Social Academy Kids™ also teaches so-called “neurotypicals” how to anticipate and interact with their autistic friends. And since developmental delays and autism are not always readily identified in countries around the world, Social Academy Kids™ offers a glimpse into strategies for interaction with friends on the autism spectrum in hopes of spreading knowledge, communication techniques and understanding. ----------------------- Instagram:   / socialacademykids   #autism #abatherapy #speechtherapy #occupationaltherapy #autismfamily #abatherapy #autismsupport #autismparents #autisme #autismparenting #autismmemes #autismo #socialemotionallearning توحد
