🌻 What are Sunflower Lanyards?

Sunflower lanyards are specially designed to signal that an individual has hidden disabilities or additional needs. They represent positivity and hope, making them a powerful symbol of inclusivity in our community.

These lanyards are vital in providing crucial information to staff in various public settings—like airports, shopping centers, and event venues—helping them offer the appropriate support. By wearing a sunflower lanyard, individuals can communicate their needs without having to explain verbally.

Who can benefit from these lanyards? Individuals with neurodivergence, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or other hidden challenges, as well as family members and caregivers, can wear them to indicate their support role.

Wearing sunflower lanyards is a simple yet effective step toward making our world more inclusive for everyone. 🌍💚

TRY THIS …

My toddler walked over, whining a bit, as she handed me her unopened chip packet. Instinctively, I thought of asking, “Do you want me to open it?” Problem solved, right? 🤔 But I decided to try something different this time.

Instead of immediately responding, next time they raised their arms, I tried this...

I bent down to their level, making eye contact and establishing a connection first.👀

When they reached out again, I used the single word “open” in a playful, sing-song voice—a word they already knew well, drawing out the sounds. 😜🎶

And then, I waited... and kept waiting ⏰

The first few attempts went by with more whining, nothing seemed to change. But I persisted through the second, third, fourth, and fifth tries. Then...

The following week, they handed me the chip packet and confidently said, “Open.”

I delightedly opened it, giving them a big smile and picking them up with joy in my eyes. Little tweaks and consistency truly can make a difference. 😆🎉

They didn’t use their words every single time, but by creating these opportunities, I allowed them to give it a go when they were ready.

A small shift, a big reward! Patience and consistency help nurture those little victories.

🚫 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Communicating with a Gestalt Language Processor!

Understanding gestalt language processors (GLPs) is important for effective communication, it’s a little different to analytical language learning. Here are 5 common mistakes to avoid:

1️⃣ Overlooking Echolalia:Don’t dismiss repetition; it’s a vital part of their first language learning stages!

2️⃣ Using Complex Language: Stick to simple, clear phrases to enhance their understanding. What can they relate to? Do they know the meaning of the words?

3️⃣ Ignoring Processing Time: Allow them time to think before responding; patience is key! Think 10-15 seconds before prompting.

4️⃣ Neglecting Nonverbal Cues: Pay attention to their body language and gestures for deeper insights. Communication isn’t just verbal!

5️⃣ Ignoring Context:Relate language to familiar experiences for better comprehension. Do they love bluey? How many bluey phrases can you add into your conversation?

💬 follow along for more tips!
