Mental health matters every day. Today on World Mental Health Day, here are four simple practices to support their mental well-being: 🧘🏻 Embrace neurodiversity: celebrate and affirm your child's unique traits. Focus on their strengths and talents rather than viewing autism solely as a challenge. 🫂 Encourage peer connections: facilitate opportunities for your child to connect with peers who understand and accept neurodiversity. Support participation in groups or activities that celebrate differences, fostering friendships based on shared interests rather than just social norms. 💐 Create a safe space for sensory needs: recognize and accommodate sensory preferences and sensitivities. Create a sensory-friendly environment with designated quiet spaces, fidget tools, or calming activities. 🤍 Foster autonomy and choice: empower your child by giving them choices when possible in daily activities, whether it’s picking their clothes, selecting snacks, or choosing how to spend free time. We hope to create a supportive environment that nurtures your child's mental health while affirming their identity as a neurodiverse individual. 💚 🎶 Vansire the brand - The Latter Teens

Introducing Communication Lab

We built Communication Lab to provide tools for caretakers to build a connection with their child so they can freely express themselves and be independent.

We believe that communication is the key to opening endless possibilities. A strong connection is a foundation and gateway to meaningful relationships. We built Communication Lab to provide tools for caretakers to build a connection with their child so they can freely express themselves and be independent.

Establishing a connection with a child with autism can be difficult. Our focus is on improving all aspects of life for families that we work with. We empower caregivers by providing tools to manage any situation through direct care, oversight, and supervision of children and therapists, caregiver coaching and consultation, and conduct analysis-based assessments.

Our vision is based on the collaborative relationship between our Communication Lab team and the families we serve. We choose to be scientific and meticulous in our approach which allows us to build new behaviors that will lead to improved communication, a strong connection, and a deeper understanding between caregivers and their children. Life should always be fulfilling and rewarding.
