Getting kids ready to head back to school can be a time full of stressors for the whole family. This is an important reminder as you work through #backtoschool together. Kids need #coregulation, not co-escalation. Thanks @kwiens62 for the graphic! 💕

Kids who don't speak are still communicating. We just need to listen differently.

“Mastery” is an important goal of learning, highlighted on the Circle of Courage used in most of our schools. But what is it? And how do we help kids with autism to experience it?

@WinnipegSD just wondering...I see a post about PInk Day, but why would you not recognize World Autism Awareness Day? #WAAD #inclusion #DiversityandInclusion #AutismAwarenessDay

[ADAPT Manitoba @ADAPTManitoba]

Attention teachers and other professionals - this conference looks very applicable to the issues our kids are facing.

[ADAPT Manitoba @ADAPTManitoba]

@lisa_orsi @manitobaautism We don’t all agree ABA is a good choice. See @A4AOntario for a great response from adults with autism and parents of #autistic kids.
