Functional tasks are perfect ways to target expressive and receptive language skills! Some of our favorite fall speech therapy activities include:
🍁 baking cookies
🍁 setting the table
🍁 reading books about fall/thanksgiving
🍁 unpacking winter clothing
🍁 listening to holiday music & singing along
🍁 playing outside

Each of these tasks can target following directions, labeling of varied nouns, verbs and pronouns, targeting basic concepts (prepositions, colors, textures), and categories. When tasks are directly relating to what is occurring in their environment, transference of these skills greatly increase!

As a former teacher, I am very pro-school, but the reality is some kids need more direct instruction and individualized supports.

If your child isn't required to attend school yet and/or if your family needs an alternative to school so more behavioral control, functional communication and readiness skills can be taught, in-home ABA services may be the answer, and we may be able to help!

We are an BCBA-owned company, the owner is a former ASD teacher, and we are committed to providing creative and flexible options for families!

💛 Organization isn't always going to come naturally to everyone. Many need to be taught HOW to organize their space and belongings before being expected to do it instinctually - and that's just the beginning. Experimenting with different approaches to organization is the key to findings systems that actually work.

For example, if binders haven't worked for school, consider trying an accordion folder - we see the most success with this system in the students we work with. Go accordion folders! 😂

A Balanced Approach LLC started supporting a client in their kindergarten readiness class at a local daycare today!

We appreciate the daycare's willingness to collaborate with us to ensure things work well for everyone involved!

As a former teacher, I'm definitely pro-school, but the reality is that some kids need more support and/or direct instruction than CCSD can provide, and readiness makes a difference!!

Let us help you find the creative & flexible solutions that best meet your child's (and family's) needs, and helps prepare them for future transitions & environments!

We have *immediate* daytime openings for in-home ABA in Henderson & Southeast Vegas!

I talk a lot about fluctuating capacity in neurodivergent people.

It leads to conversations about expectations, and whether it’s ok to push our kids to do hard things.

We don’t want to push our kids when they’re close to the edge. That just pushes them off.

When they’re emotional, dysregulated, unwell, exhausted, overwhelmed- this is not a time to push them. This is a time to reduce expectations and add support.

When our kids are well-regulated, emotionally ok, not mentally exhausted, in a good frame of mind- that is the time to provide opportunities for them to exceed expectations and ‘push’ themselves.

Yes?

I spend most of my time as a Psychologist teaching kids about feelings. It never stops amazing me how a lot of adults struggle at doing this. Feelings are there for a reason, we need to recognise them so we can manage them

When kids are little, sticking to Happy, Sad, Angry, Scared and Worried are fine. They are the building blocks for understanding emotions. However, as children get older we need to expand their emotional vocabulary. For example, there is a difference between feeling angry and disappointed or confused and frustrated. The way would would manage anger and disappointment are probably going to be different too.

I've got my red shoes on at FASD Awareness Family Day and 5K 2023!

Did you know that one study found that as many as 72% of children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) have autism??

There are similarities *and* differences between the two, but the need for more awareness & more resources and supports is universal across the spectrums!

09/08/2023

We'll be at the FASD Awareness Family Day and 5K 2023! tomorrow! Come say hi!

A box full of bags, ready for our event! Thank you to all our sponsors who helped make this possible! We hope to see you there!
