A simple activity like playing with shaving cream and water can open up a world of language learning opportunities…

Not only is it a fun, sensory experience, but it also encourages creativity and communication skills in kids! As they squish, spread, and create, they’re also practicing vocabulary, following directions, and expressing their thoughts.

So the next time you’re looking for a messy yet educational activity, grab that shaving cream and let the language fun begin!

Happy Space Day — May 1st! 🚀✨

Combining speech therapy with a cozy astronomy lesson! This amazing kid created these constellations while we practiced reading instructions, following steps and answering short questions about Space Day.
Activities included:
- Reading a short story about constellations and Space Day
- Following written/modeled steps to cut, place, and connect “stars” to make a constellation
- Answering WH-questions and yes/no questions about Space Day and their constellation

Results: increased confidence with multisensory instruction, better accuracy following multi-step directions and richer space-related vocabulary. Loved seeing creativity + communication skills come together!

What an incredible day! We are still smiling after a wonderful day at the Team Mario Autism Walk 2026.

It was truly a privilege for MindWorks Rehabilitation Center to return as a sponsor this year. The energy was electric, and seeing the sheer number of participants and families coming together to support the autism community was deeply moving.

The highlight of our day was definitely the visitors at our booth. We loved getting the chance to catch up with so many of our current and former patients. While we didn't manage to snag a photo with everyone who stopped by, please know how much we enjoyed every conversation and update. Seeing our kids thriving and out in the community is exactly why we do what we do!

Thank you to Team Mario for hosting such a vital event, and thank you to everyone who took the time to say hello. We are already looking forward to next year!

April is Autism Awareness Month and we’re shining a spotlight on Jazmyn, a remarkable young woman whose journey is all about resilience and growth. Jazmyn joined MindWorks back in 2007 and graduated from MindWorks in 2026!
From her early days at MindWorks in 2007, Jazmyn has shown remarkable growth and strength. Once nonverbal and facing challenges, she now confidently communicates in her own unique way. Jazmyn is not just an incredible individual; she’s also a proud member of the Sparks cheer team, marking milestones like prom and embracing the joys of teenage life!
With a passion for dancing, music, and drawing, Jazmyn’s talents shine brightly. Her impressive skills in math are just another facet of her amazing personality. Even without spoken words, Jazmyn connects with those around her, leaving a lasting impression and spreading joy.

Join us in celebrating Jazmyn's journey and the beauty of diversity!
