This is co-regulation! When we put connection first, we put aside emotions and self-regulate with empathy. This model supports the child. This is the core of development. Here, you can find more information and resources: https://www.theottoolbox.com/co-regulation/

Signs You’re a Special Needs Parent

• You know what it feels like to fight for your child in a room full of professionals who don’t live your life
• You’ve developed an internal clock that tracks meds, meltdowns, and therapy schedules
• You’ve mastered the art of dodging flying iPads
• You hear silence and immediately assume something’s wrong
• You’ve smiled politely while someone told you their cousin “grew out of it”
• You grieve and celebrate at the same time… often for the same thing
• You hold a thousand fears in your chest and still manage to show up
• Your house is baby-proofed like a CIA facility
• You get angry when people say, “God only gives special kids to special parents” but sometimes, you repeat it to yourself anyway
• You feel like a failure even when you’re doing the impossible
• You’ve learned that strength doesn’t always look like power… it often looks like showing up again tomorrow

And yet… you keep going.
Because giving up isn’t an option.
Because love like this doesn’t ask for perfection.

You’re not alone.
And you’re doing more than most people will ever understand.

There are three general different types of prompts that can be used as graded support for those working on goals. These types can be broken down into different supports (like positional or gestural prompts which are a version of visual prompting).

There are different types of prompts that we use in therapy:

⏰Visual prompts- this can include modeling and gestures. This can also include positional prompts, like placing items in a different place or more prominent place that offers a visual clue.
🔔Verbal prompts- this can include words or sounds like a bell to change classes at school
🫳Physical prompts- this can include hand-over hand support, slight nudges, or light touch.
