What can you do to make the holidays more enjoyable & engaging? Glad you asked!

1. Gentle introductions to the crazy lights, boisterous sounds, and the hustle & bustle of the holiday season are key! Daily exposure to the holiday elements allow kids to take it all in, one small dose at a time, without feeling overwhelmed. Frequent opportunities to explore holiday activities or stimuli help kids acclimate by going at their own pace, taking breaks when they need to. No forcing participation allowed! This allows them to experience the excitement & enjoyment of it all like we do!

2. Maintaining healthy routines, such as sleep & feeding schedules is critical. Be intentional about scheduling โ€œme timeโ€ or downtime for your family. The consistency in healthy routines is good for us grown-ups, too.

3. Involve them in decorating, cooking, and other holiday activities, even if itโ€™s on a small scale. Everyone should play a role.

4. Allow for ample practice to acquire the familiarity & skills needed to experience enjoyment. That may call for a little more repetition or exposure than usual, and thatโ€™s ok! See it as an opportunity for more memories to be made.

5. Be ok with saying โ€œNOโ€ to some things. Politely decline those events that are not tailored for your unique learner. Itโ€™s not a โ€œNEVERโ€. It might just be a โ€œNOT YETโ€. And do it guilt-free!

๐ŸŒŸ For those who get a little down this time of year because holidays donโ€™t always look like what you thought they wouldโ€ฆ well, you arenโ€™t alone! Lean on others who are experiencing a similar journey. You might be shocked at how much they needed you, too. โค๏ธ

Therapists at Kidโ€™s Clinic proudly serve a community of learners who may exhibit challenging behavior at times due to complex conditions or developmental delays. These behaviors can be responsive to treatment, but itโ€™s critical to keep everyone safe during tough seasons of life!

Professional Crisis Management (PCM) training is a safety & crisis management system. The training focuses primarily on prevention & de-escalation of crisis behaviors before they become severe & unmanageable. PCM also includes safe, non-harmful physical intervention techniques only applied in cases of enduring aggression, self-injury, or property destruction.

CS staff are certified in PCM & have trainers available for those interested. Parents, caregivers, or local professionals- that includes YOU! Reach out if youโ€™re interested in learning more.

Donโ€™t get your tinsel in a tangle over gifts.

The CS gang will share a few of our favorite things that others are sure to love this Christmas. Buying for the neurodiverse learners in your life can feel overwhelming, but donโ€™t over think it! Our little elves have ideas coming your way everyday next week. Be on the lookout!

Remember being a kid & going to cafeteria everyday? The smells. The strange, unidentifiable foods. Well, we have put a modern spin on our โ€œcafeteriaโ€ at CS.

Our favorite meal prep crew, No Regrets Meal Prep, not only serves the kids and staff of CS, but they continue to serve so many across our city! They are quite popular for good reason. Make your order online and swing through Highland to grab it to go.

We are honored to share space with this incredible team. Not only do they keep us well fed, they support & enjoy the kids! No Regrets will build your healthy, hearty meals around allergies, special diets, or preferences for less than you spend in the drive thru.

๐ŸŒŸWe are in the holiday spirit at CS!๐ŸŒŸ

Parents, the kids were begging, so we caved. Our Friday plans includeโ€ฆ

๐ŸŽ„And all the Christmas tunes while we enjoy all things CHRISTMAS!

While it all seems FUN (and it mostly is), we know itโ€™s important to teach skills related to holiday success, such as these:

1. Nonvocal inhibition (NOT opening presents or grabbing ornaments in reach)
2. Tacting (aka labeling) uncommon stimuli associated with holidays, such as โ€œstockingโ€, โ€œsleighโ€, or โ€œnutcrackerโ€
3. Tolerating turn-taking with highly preferred items, such as our cute CS elves
4. Continuing to be your best self in the face of temptation or change in schedules (hard for us grown ups, too)
5. Exposure to common holiday games families play, such as Secret Santa
6. How to open up gifts that require some fine motor exertion
7. How to politely say no to non-preferred foods at a Christmas party
8. How to have an inner voice for those gifts you recieve that areโ€ฆ wellโ€ฆ not your thing
9. How to dance or sing along to favorite Christmas tunes (requires some repetition to gain familiarity)
10. How to regulate our emotions when the excitement is HIGH or when the sensory experience is exhausting

These are just a few of the things that our learners may struggle with at times. Remember, being supportive means understanding that we all experience the world differently! And we think thatโ€™s cool. Letโ€™s make room for every personality at the holiday table this year. โค๏ธ
