How to Support Autistic Toddlers At Home:
#1: Less is more
- Instead of focusing on what needs to be taught by applying pressure and demands, let’s build
- Calm nervous system creates positive opportunities for language retention and comprehension
- Validate your child’s feelings and attempt to understand their experiences and relate, which creates communication opportunities and expressions
- Build rapport: calm, understood and supported
#2: Ensure that sensory needs are being met:
- Create a positive environment
- Vestibular input
- Proprioceptive input
- Need ideas? Check them out here / cw6_gkmmwnq
#3 Always build off of your child’s strengths
- JOIN them in their activity
- Even if it doesn’t make sense to you or they aren't "playing appropriately"
- Let the child lead the activity and you copy
- Add on simple / easy and quick steps onto their play activity to expand (don't force them, keep it light and fun!)
- Be aware of THEIR body posture and YOUR body posture
- Build off of the skills that they have, slowly
#4 Make sure to use high affect (facial expressions)
- Increases attention span
- Draws attention to activity and face / engagement
- Alter voice and intonation
- Helps improve understanding facial expressions
- Using symbolic gestures improves functional communication and pragmatic (social) skills
- Being excited helps improve engagement and interaction naturally
#5 PLAY, PLAY, PLAY!
- Children learn skills 40x’s faster in PLAY
- Imitate them / copy what they are doing
- Add in language slowly
- Include your child in all daily activities (doing the laundry, dishes, mopping, cooking, etc) and make it FUN!
