Who said Tuesdays can't be exciting? l 😎 Check out today's highlights and what made today fun-from reading a student's response to what he's grateful for : "Everything", a star student showing us his beautiful skills in literacy and early numeracy, to another star student waiting patiently for other learners to join her at group time - we do have fun!

We are definitely nuts about nature and all things outdoors. Having the privilege of access to a vegetable garden with the largest pumpkin ever is ever so wonderful 😋

Shining Stars is beyond proud of the achievements made by one of our Stars. From his hesitance to sitting with his therapist at the table to now sitting and using a pincer grip to print, our student shows us that every step is worth celebrating 🍾 😀.

With patience, productive accommodations, commitment from his team and flexibility, success happens.

Our Stars are all exceptional, magnificent and unique! Love our Shining Star family.

Rania Ghobrial’s passion and desire to help build confidence among students with Autism can be traced back to 2004. I began working with a grade eight student whose school-based staff said he regularly and frequently demonstrated acting out behaviours. The behaviours ranged from screaming, jumping up and down, noncompliance, running away from teachers to lunging at school -based staff. Although he could communicate well and had varying academic ability, his behavioural and sensory needs compounded the ability to show his strengths. There were a number of instances where the student was excluded from school and other school-based activities due to his challenges during the school day. He transitioned to my care in 2005. He moved from a Special Education intermediate class to a mainstream grade 8 class. Although he had varying skills in academic areas, it was the social and behavioural challenges that caused others to become hypervigilant around him.

Without further ado, I developed a structured program for him. He had an individualized, visual schedule that indicated in what order his tasks were presented, when his movement breaks were and when he was all finished and ready for dismissal.

Within one month, the student was able to sit and attend for up to 30 minutes, developed skills in reading comprehension, could transition to and from a break period adaptively and was completely independent during his break periods.

Fast forward twelve years later, the student has a part time job at Boston Pizza, is independently taking the transit to and from his workplace. I came to know that he started driving lessons, with continued adult support.
