🗣️ October is AAC Awareness Month! 🧩

At New View Autism, we believe communication is connection — in every form it takes. 💛

While we don’t have an SLP on staff, we love collaborating with speech-language pathologists to support our learners using AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication).

✨ Here’s how this partnership helps our learners thrive:

🔹 SLPs work with families and teams to explore and trial AAC systems, finding the perfect fit for each child’s unique strengths and needs.

🔹 BCBAs and RBTs then bring AAC into daily life — modeling its use naturally, without pressure or expectation — so every child can discover their voice in ways that feel safe and empowering.

🔹 Together, this teamwork turns AAC into so much more than a communication tool — it becomes a bridge to genuine connection. 🌈

🦖✨ Math + Dinosaurs = Learning Fun! ✨🦖

We love celebrating the creative ways our learners grow and shine! Today, one of our amazing kiddos used her favorite dino figurines to practice single-digit addition and subtraction with her RBT.

Moments like these remind us that every child learns best when their interests lead the way. We’re so proud of her! 🌟

🌟Fidgets & Supports in the Classroom:
Helping Kids Focus & Self-Regulate🌟

Fidgets and sensory supports can be powerful tools to help children stay regulated, attentive, and engaged in school—but it’s important to choose the right ones and communicate with educators about what works best!

Tips for Determining if a Fidget/Support is a Good Fit at School:

✅ Communicate with teachers/staff. Collaborate so supports help—not disrupt—the learning environment.

✅ Keep it quiet and discreet. Fidgets should support focus without drawing attention or distracting peers.

✅ Match it to your child’s needs. Does your child seek movement, touch, or sound input? Pick accordingly!

✅ Trial and observe. If it helps them focus without pulling attention away from the teacher, it’s a win!

✅ Teach expectations. Practice at home first—when and how to use it appropriately.

✅ Make sure it helps them focus on the lesson, not only on the object. If they are so focused on the object that they aren’t responding to others, try a different fidget.

🔧 Examples of Fidgets/Supports for School Settings:
🎨 Putty or therapy dough (quiet, hands-on)
🖊️ Click-free fidget pens
🧊 Small, quiet fidget cubes or spinners
🪑 Wiggle cushions or foot bands on chairs
🎧 Noise-reducing headphones
🧸 Small, soft fabric squares or sensory strips (tactile input)
🏷️ Weighted lap pads (when appropriate)
✍️ Dry erase boards for jotting quick notes or doodles during instruction

✨ The goal isn’t to “keep hands busy” just for the sake of it—it’s to give the brain the sensory input it needs so your child can learn and thrive.

🌟 What is Natural Reinforcement? (And Why It Works)

In neurodiversity-affirming practice, we focus on supports that honor a child’s autonomy and joy.

🌿 Natural reinforcement means the reward for a skill or action comes from the activity itself—not from stickers, candy, or unrelated prizes.
For example:

🛝 Climbing the playground ladder → the joy of going down the slide

🎨 Painting a picture → pride in creating something beautiful

🧩 Asking a friend to play → enjoying the game together

Natural reinforcement works because it connects skills to real, meaningful experiences. It helps children see value in what they’re learning—without shame, pressure, or coercion.

✨ When learning is joyful and purposeful, progress happens naturally.

🏆 Small Wins Are Big Wins 🏆

In a world that often measures progress by big milestones, it’s easy to overlook the quiet victories that truly matter.

💜For autistic children, progress is personal. It might look like:
• Trying a new food after weeks of looking at it
• Joining a group activity for 2 minutes
• Using a new communication tool once
• Recovering more quickly after a meltdown

These moments may seem small—but they are signs of growth, trust, and courage.

✨ When we celebrate the progress that matters to the child (not just to a checklist), we show them: “I see you. I value you. I’m proud of you.”
Every step forward—no matter the size—is a win worth noticing. 💛

What is a recent win you or your child had?🏅

⏰ Supporting Autistic Kids During Changes in Routine ⏰

Changes—big or small—can feel overwhelming for autistic children. Routines bring comfort, predictability, and safety. When life shifts, support makes all the difference.

💛 Here’s how to help transitions feel safer and more manageable:

📅 Prepare early – Talk about upcoming changes with clear, concrete language.

🖼️ Use visuals or stories – Schedules, social stories, or photos help make the unfamiliar feel familiar.

🌟 Offer choices – Even small decisions (like what to wear or bring) help children feel empowered.

🤝 Honor coping strategies – Comfort items, movement breaks, or quiet spaces are valid supports.

💬 Validate feelings – It’s okay to feel worried or upset. We hold space for those emotions.

✨ Supporting change isn’t about pushing children through discomfort—it’s about walking alongside them, at their pace, with compassion and respect.
