Adventure Learning Center: Leading with Assent-Based ABA 🌟

At Adventure Learning Center, we believe ABA isn’t about compliance — it’s about collaboration, respect, and empowerment. Our approach centers on assent-based practices, ensuring every child’s voice is heard and their boundaries are honored. 🗣️💙

We know that children with autism deserve therapy that respects their autonomy and promotes their strengths, not just behavior change. That’s why we prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where children choose to engage — because their assent matters every step of the way.

✅ Therapy that focuses on building trust and meaningful progress
✅ Techniques that encourage active participation and self-advocacy
✅ A commitment to respecting individual needs and celebrating neurodiversity

At Adventure Learning Center, ABA means empowering kids to grow on their own terms — with dignity, respect, and joy. 🌈✨

🎃🍂🧡
✨ October is Physical Therapy Awareness Month! ✨

Pediatric physical therapists support children of all ages! 🤩 Whether it’s learning to crawl, walk, play, or participate in sports, PTs are movement superheroes for kids! 🥳

— a few fun facts:

* PT’s Help Kids Hit Milestones — from sitting and crawling to walking and running, PTs help children meet important movement milestones!

* It’s Not Just Rehab — PT for kids isn’t just for recovery. It also helps improve balance, coordination, strength, posture, and even motor planning in fun and engaging ways. 🤩

* Play Is Part of the Therapy — PT sessions often look like playtime as we all see everyday! They use games, obstacle courses, toys, and fun activities to help kids build strength and confidence!

* Every Child Is Unique — PT’s work with kids with a wide range of conditions:
* Cerebral palsy
* Down syndrome
* Autism
* Muscular dystrophy
* Sports injuries
* Developmental delays
* Torticollis .. the list can honestly go on! 🥹

* Parents Are Part of the Team — PT’s often work closely with families to create home exercise routines and empower caregivers with tools for success when supporting their children!

Movement is a foundation for learning, play, and independence and all the PT’s around the world, especially our two PT’s help make it possible! 🥹🩷

✨ physical therapy changes lives—one tiny step at a time. 👣✨

A HUGE thank you to Nancy and Taryn for always supporting our clients in the best way possible! We all see the efforts you both put in every single day. ALC has a great PT team. 🩷

💜 OCTOBER IS AAC AWARENESS MONTH! 💜

As many of you know, AAC stands for ✨ Augmentative and Alternative Communication ✨

— a few fun facts about AAC:

🌟 AAC doesn't stop natural speech — it actually SUPPORTS it! Kids often talk more once they have an AAC device!

🌟 AAC devices can say ANYTHING for our clients — from “I need a break” to “I need a snack!” and we all know how much our clients love to express their wants and needs!

🌟 AAC users have personalities, preferences, and lots of things to say — just like everyone else but in their own very special way 🥹

— a great way you can continue to support AAC users is by..

* Model the AAC — Using the device when talking with our clients! You don’t have to press every single word but just by modeling a few words here and there will show our sweet little friends how they can communicate with us. Kids learn best when they see others use the devices!

* Be Patient! — Always believe that the kiddo can learn and communicate! Never underestimate them, sometimes they just need to know we believe in them and are here to support them in every way possible!

* Include Our Clients! — Our little friends want to play, laugh, and be part of the group. Let them join in and give them the time and tools to do so! They understand much more than we think! Every child deserves to be included in conversations.

We’re here every day to support, teach, and cheer on our amazing clients, especially those who are beginning or have already started their AAC journey and while it takes time to learn how to use their words functionally, every step is a HUGE milestone.

Let’s all CELEBRATE our clients voices!

✨ Whether it’s spoken, signed, tapped, or typed — all communication matters. ✨

A huge thanks to our SLP Melissa, who helps and supports our clients daily during speech sessions! Your dedication to our clients means a lot. 🫶🏻 grateful for all you do and your hard work. ✨
