Tip of the Day 💡 Music can help language learning! Using a musical voice with your child can support their language memory and learning. 🎵🎶 Research has found that the music center of the brain is connected to the part of the brain that codes for language memory. This means that music can help with your child’s language learning! One way to light up this connection is to speak in a sing-song voice when you talk to your child. For example, when it’s time for bed, you can sing, “it’s tiiiime for be-ed!” When you sing the words, the neural highway between your child’s music and language centers fires up and can improve your child’s language memory! 💫 ThriveGuide empowers parents raising autistic children with personalized goals, activities and expert-designed resources to accelerate development 🚀 ➡️ Start your free 30-day trial today at ThriveGuide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad Autism parents autism family autistic children parents of autistic children parenting special needs autism resources

🔍 What is Responsiveness? 🔈 Responsiveness • /re·spon·sive·ness/ 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮 The quality of reacting quickly and positively. When you are responsive to your child’s non-verbal cues, especially physical boundaries they start to feel in control, you build trust. Show them you respect their wants and needs. The more responsive you are, the more your autistic child will include you in their unique play and routines. 🌟 ThriveGuide empowers parents raising autistic children with personalized goals, guidance, activities and resources to help accelerate their development 🚀 ➡️ Start your free 30-day trial today at ThriveGuide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autisticplay #autismactivities

Tip of the Day 💡 Watch Me! 👀 If your child is in a language learning phase, then watching you speak can help them! They can learn from watching how your mouth and tongue move and make associations between words and objects, situations, environments, etc. Try playful ways to encourage your child to watch your mouth as you speak, such as making sounds in a mirror together, or pointing to your mouth while you articulate words a bit more slowly. Watching leads to imitation, and imitation leads to learning! 💡 ThriveGuide empowers parents raising autistic children with personalized goals, activities and expert-designed resources to accelerate development 🚀 ➡️ Start your free 30-day trial today at ThriveGuide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autismactivities #autismresources

April is International Autism Awareness/ Acceptance Month 🌟 On April 1st, 2020, ThriveGuide founder Jonathan Alderson wrote an article in ParentsCanada Magazine titled “Autism Awareness Or Acceptance? Why We Should Shift Our Language.” As many already know, there’s been a growing shift from away from using the word “Awareness” to instead promoting “Acceptance”..The idea of acceptance, what it means for a parent, and how acceptance can be an important step in family resilience, stamina, and parent mental health, is at the centre of ThriveGuide. “Acceptance first; Change second” is a concept that ThriveGuide founder Jonathan Alderson has been teaching for over 20 years. “We are filled with hope seeing the broader field "catch up" with our vision and with that of all autistic individuals: to not just have greater awareness about autism, but for individual fellow humans to truly be accepted for their neurodiversity, and therefore, fully included in education, employment, and communities.” - Jonathan Alderson Visit our bio link to read the full article 📲 . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #autistickids #CelebrateDifferences #AutismAcceptanceMonth #AutismAwarenessMonth #AutismAcceptanceEveryDay

Tip of the Day 💡 Use Silence to Boost Talking Research* supports the idea that silence can boost your child’s listening and communication skills. It takes young children 7 seconds to hear, listen, and understand before they produce a response. By waiting that 7+ seconds after you’ve spoken to your child, you give them the space they need to process what you’ve said.

🔍 What is Receptivity? 🔈 Receptivity • /ˌrēˌsepˈtivədē/ 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮 The state of listening and paying attention to another person. It is the most important ingredient for successful social learning and communication. Receptivity fluctuates. When your child is not receptive, they are far less likely to hear, understand, or respond to you. Invest 1-2 minutes to gain a child’s attention before making a demand or request. “Willing compliance” will increase dramatically. 🌟 ThriveGuide empowers parents raising autistic children with personalized goals, guidance, activities and resources to help accelerate their development 🚀 ➡️ Learn more at thriveguide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autisticplay #autismactivities
Tip of the Day 💡 Start Every Autism Program With Physical Health First In the words of ThriveGuide Founder Jonathan Alderson, “Learning is a biological process, therefore, when the body works better learning works better.” Learning involves our entire body including the senses, nervous system and the brain. Each of these systems is made up of molecules including fatty acids, nutrients, and water as well as muscles and bones. Optimizing your child’s health, in collaboration with your healthcare professionals, should be a priority to maximize learning. The big idea here? 💡 Learning is dependent on physical health. Healthy body + motivation = ready learner! 🌟 ThriveGuide empowers parents raising autistic children with personalized goals, activities and expert-designed resources to accelerate development. ➡️ Learn more at ThriveGuide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autismactivities

🌟 Our Values ➡️ 🌈 We believe every autistic individual is unique, therefore, support and education should be just as unique. The ideal individualized supports are not only the best-fit strategies for a given child but are also prioritized in the right order and done at the right time. Order and timing are built into the ThriveGuide algorithm and logic. 🚀 We believe that since parents are the primary caregivers of their children, they should be empowered with coaching, training, and knowledge to make clear informed decisions and to thrive in their own daily living as they support their autistic children’s development. ✨ We believe that a company which serves individuals on the spectrum and their families should be informed by and inclusive of those we serve. This is why we listen closely to parents and autistic adults and teenagers. We are also committed to intentionally employing autistic individuals. 💖 We believe that an attitude of love, acceptance, and respect should be at the center of all interactions and communications with autistic individuals, their families, and circle of care. We strive to embody this in the words we use to communicate, in the ideas we promote, and in the images we post. We are open to feedback, to learning, and to evolving as our collective understanding of neurodiversity advances. ➡️ Learn more at ThriveGuide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autismactivities #autismresources

Tip of the Day 💡 Use Responsiveness to Build Trust Trust is an essential part of the bond you share with your child. When you are responsive to your child’s cues and boundaries, you show them that you respect their wants and needs and that you can be trusted. Your responsiveness also indicates that including you in play or daily routines does not mean that they have to give up control. Be patient and accepting, even if you don’t fully understand their boundaries. Trust is built on consistency and responsiveness, so don’t give up! As you build this trust with your child, you teach them how to trust and engage with others 🌟 ThriveGuide empowers parents raising autistic children with personalized goals, activities and expert-designed resources to accelerate development. ➡️ Learn more at ThriveGuide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autismactivities #autismresources

Tip of the Day 💡 Inspire observation to foster social development One of the ways children learn social behaviors is by watching others. Simply observing can help your child learn the sounds, facial expressions, and movements to socialize. Then with some prompting, your child can begin to imitate social behaviors. Show and teach your child how to observe the people and situations around them so that they can learn from others. 🌟 ThriveGuide empowers parents raising autistic children with personalized goals, activities and expert-created resources to accelerate development. ➡️ Learn more at ThriveGuide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autismactivities #autismresources

SAP, one of the world's largest software companies, set out to create employment opportunities and inclusive workplaces for autistic and neurodiverse adults. They invited other companies to make a pledge as well. Now 125+ companies in 16 countries, including ThriveGuide, have taken the SAP Autism Inclusion Pledge. Here’s a bit of our 🌟 ThriveGuide Autism Inclusion Pledge 🌟: As a company serving the autism population, we believe in this statement that has been adopted by the autism community itself: “Nothing about us, without us!” We believe that our product development and family support services should be informed by autistic individuals. We also believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce leads to innovation, making us stronger, more accepting, more humble, and more caring. Our company mission is to make a positive impact in the lives of autistic children by empowering parents and caregivers with knowledge and skills based on a foundational attitude of acceptance of differences and love. As CEO, when designing the company values and culture, I felt passionate about having all we do informed by the autism community itself. To achieve this, I actively pursued hiring the mother of an autistic child whose perspectives and lived experience we greatly valued. We also invited input and feedback from an autistic woman who is a special needs teacher and the mother of an autistic child.

Tip of the Day 💡 Keep Expectations Consistent Across All Environments Keep adult expectations of children consistent across all environments through collaborating and communicating with other caregivers. Initiate a meeting or shared document to agree on what the “goal of the day or week” is. Agree on the style of approach. This provides stable, consistent expectations for your child’s behaviors, supporting their success! 🌟 ThriveGuide empowers parents raising autistic children with personalized goals, guidance, activities and resources to help accelerate their development. ➡️ Learn more at thriveguide.co . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autismactivities #autismresources

Tip of the Day 💡 Following vs Leading Build trust and connection with your child by following their lead! Watch and respectfully participate in your child’s interest without trying to teach them or take control. The goal of following a child’s lead is to share joy, learn their preferences and make them ultra comfortable with you sharing their toys and space. Tip 📌 Just 10 minutes per day of letting your child lead you in an activity will build rapport and trust quickly and can lead to even more social learning. . . . . . #ThriveGuide #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismspectrum #ASD #autismcommunity #autismlife #autismsupport #autismunderstanding #autismdiagnosis #autismeducation #autismadvocate #thisisautism #childdevelopment #autistickids #autismmom #autismdad #autismparent #autismparents #autismfamily #autisticjoy #ilovesomeonewithautism #autisticchildren #autisticchild #parentsofautisticchildren #parentingspecialneeds #autismactivities #autismresources
