A Brighter Avenue - ABA Therapy

08/29/2025

Over at 🌞A Brighter Avenue we believe visuals are powerful tools for children with autism. They make information clear, concrete, and predictable. Many children process visual information more easily than spoken words, so pictures, symbols, or written cues help them understand expectations and routines.

Visual supports also reduce anxiety by showing what will happen next, offering structure, and giving children a way to communicate their needs when words are difficult. They promote independence, understanding, and confidence—turning abstract concepts into something tangible and accessible.

We have visuals available for important daily tasks such as 🚽potty training and🪥 teeth brushing. These supports break the steps down into simple, easy-to-follow cues, helping little ones build independence and confidence in learning essential self-care skills.

🎉If you would like a set of visuals at no cost to you, send us a quick message and we would be more than happy to help.

Fun Friday in the ELC means making yummy treats as a group! Our latest favorite was homemade lemonade! Each child had the oppurtunity to squeeze lemons and stir the lemonade, giving them a hands-on sensory experience while building important fine motor and life skills. These simple moments create big learning opportunities!

🍋We would love to know do you prefer your lemonade sweet or sour?🍋

When you have a "typical" child, you feel reasonably assured that class participation and decent study habits will result in good grades. These kids have close friends. They get invited to participate in social things like dances and weekend gatherings. They make the teams, auditioned organizations and clubs. And you give little thought to them remaining academically eligible for UIL participation.

But when you have a child with certain differences, this is often not the case. Learning may take longer, both academically and socially. Despite their tremendous efforts, results are often a fraction of their peers and social acceptance is fleeting, setting them up for painful comparisons and bitter frustration. Instead of a fun and fulfilling experience, school can become a breeding ground for depression and anxiety, and assignments a battle ground at home. It is exhausting for parent and child alike.

This is the week of SPED (Special Education), Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) awareness.
For all the children who struggle every day to succeed in a world that does not recognize their gifts and talents, and for those who are walking beside them, please let this be a gentle reminder to BE KIND and accepting of ALL people. Recognize that the "playing field" is not always a level surface. Children who learn differently are not weird. They are merely gifted in ways that our society does not value. Yet they want what everyone else wants: To be accepted.

If you choose, please copy and paste this in honor of all children who are deemed "different." Our world would be far less beautiful without them.

All they want is to have a friend...let that sink in...they JUST. WANT. A. FRIEND. ❤️
