Parents have you heard of picture exchange communication? We recommend PECS for our children and adult special needs clients that are nonverbal. Here’s just an example of some pictures we can use in the kitchen cleaning supplies even their favorite sports activities.

Mom PRO Tip for PECS: iPad and foods are great ways to begin!

Join Growing on the Spectrum for a meetup at Pin Chasers. Whether you bowl a little or a lot, it’s a great chance to strike up conversation with other autism parents and enjoy a night out.

📍 Pin Chasers – Midtown

We’ll have some snacky bites to share, and the full menu will be available for individual purchases.

Each bowler will pay for their own games — by the game, hour, or unlimited play. Pick what works best for you! (Details here: https://pinchasers.net/bowl/)

‼️ Please RSVP directly as this event is not through GIA FFF LLC, so they can make sure to reserve enough lanes. Let’s roll into a fun, easygoing evening together!
