Spectrum Autism Support Group, Kid's Creek and Wesleyan School are partnering together to offer an Adaptive Basketball Clinic on Nov. 15!
We look forward to a great day of fun and basketball instruction at Wesleyan School in Peachtree Corners on November 15th, from 9:30 am to 11 am. The adaptive basketball clinic will encourage neurodiverse kids to fall in love with basketball, a great activity to improve communication, social skills, executive function skills, emotional regulation, and teamwork while boosting balance, coordination, and endurance.
The clinic Includes:
* Professional therapy staff working with Wesleyan’s girl’s varsity coach Ellen Paroli and high school basketball players.
* Games and skills stations - and fun!
* Snacks and drinks are provided but if your child has special dietary needs feel free to send their snack and drink.

This is a good tip from .

One effective strategy for supporting executive functioning is to make things visual. When expectations or end goals are hard to visualize, it can be challenging to initiate tasks, especially those that seem difficult or boring. Planning for future events, organizing thoughts for writing, comprehending what we read, following multi-step directions, and remembering schedules or agendas can also become more difficult. By making these elements visual, you can help bridge the gap between intention and action, making it easier to manage these tasks.
