Understanding Self-Advocacy for Autistic Children 💙

Self-advocacy helps autistic children recognize their needs, communicate confidently, and access the support they deserve.

In a recent article we published, we explore practical strategies, evidence-based therapies, and compassionate approaches caregivers, educators, and therapists can use to help children build independence and confidence.

New Year’s Eve doesn’t have to be loud or overwhelming to be meaningful. ✨
For many children, a calm and predictable celebration is the best way to welcome the new year.

Here are a few sensory-friendly ways to celebrate:
🎉Do a “countdown” earlier in the evening
🎉Keep lighting soft or use favorite night lights
🎉Play calming music or familiar shows
🎉Offer preferred snacks and comfy pajamas
🎉Celebrate with quiet activities like puzzles, coloring, or a movie
🎉Stick close to familiar routines when possible

At Ambitions ABA, we believe celebrations should feel safe, supportive, and joyful—at your child’s pace. 💙

Wishing your family a peaceful and happy New Year.

🎄✨ Sensory-Friendly Christmas Fun for the Whole Family! ✨🎄

The holiday season is full of excitement—but for many autistic children, all the sounds, lights, and changes in routine can feel overwhelming. That’s why sensory-friendly activities are a wonderful way to enjoy the magic of Christmas at a pace that feels comfortable and fun.

Here are a few festive ideas to try:

🌟 1. DIY Sensory Ornaments
Fill clear plastic ornaments with pom poms, ribbons, beads, or calming colors for a hands-on, soothing craft.

❄️ 2. Frozen Treasure Hunt
Hide small holiday toys or shapes in ice cubes and let your child melt or break them free—great for tactile exploration!

🎨 3. Christmas Texture Bins
Create a bin with fake snow, jingle bells, pinecones, soft fabrics, or holiday-themed scoops for sensory play.

🍪 4. Low-Noise Cookie Decorating
Skip the loud mixers and enjoy quiet decorating time with frosting, sprinkles, and holiday shapes.

🌲 5. Calm & Cozy Light Displays
Dim the overhead lights and swap flashing decorations for soft, warm string lights to enjoy a peaceful sensory-safe glow.

🎁 6. Holiday Story Time
Choose holiday books with interactive textures or calming visuals and read together in a quiet space.

These small adjustments can make the season feel joyful, comfortable, and full of connection for children of all needs and abilities. 💙

Winter break is almost here! While the holidays are exciting, changes in routine can feel overwhelming for kids who thrive on predictability. This month, our therapists are sharing simple, practical ways to help reduce stress during the break.

Winter break tips: ❄❄
Create a daily routine that includes familiar activities your child does at school or in therapy—even if it’s just for a short time. Keeping a bit of the normal day-to-day can make the transition back after the holidays much smoother. And try to keep bedtime and wake-up times as close to usual as possible—it can make a big difference!

Everyone deserves to enjoy the season in a way that works best for them.
