🧡 Grateful Moments: Family Activities That Build Connection 🧡

As we head into Thanksgiving week, it’s the perfect time to slow down and enjoy meaningful moments with the ones we love. At Key Connections ABA Services, we believe that connection is the heart of progress and family time is a powerful way to support your child’s growth.

Here are a few autism-friendly activities to try this week:

🧩 Gratitude Jar – Each day, write down something you're thankful for and read them together on Thanksgiving.

🎨 Sensory Crafts – Try leaf rubbings, pumpkin painting, or making a “thankful tree” with paper leaves.

🧘 Mindful Moments – Practice deep breathing or gentle yoga together to stay calm and connected.

📚 Story Time – Read books about gratitude, family, or fall traditions.

🍂 Nature Walks – Explore a quiet trail and collect fall treasures like acorns and colorful leaves.

🧺 Family Picnic Indoors – Set up a cozy blanket, share snacks, and enjoy each other’s company.

November is a time for gratitude, and at Key Connections ABA Services, we’re thankful for the incredible families, caregivers, and children who make our community so special!

🎃👻 Getting Ready for Halloween 👻🎃

Halloween is coming—and that means costumes, candy, and maybe a little chaos. 😅 For kids on the spectrum, it helps to practice ahead so the big day feels fun (not overwhelming)!

🧡 Here are some easy ways to prep:
🧙‍♂️ Try on costumes early—make sure they’re comfy and sensory-friendly!
🏠 Practice trick-or-treating at home (yes, you can totally knock on bedroom doors!)
📸 Use a visual schedule to show what the day will look like
🎧 Pack a sensory kit: headphones, fidgets, snacks, comfort items
🌟 Celebrate your way—whether it’s a quiet movie night, a backyard candy hunt, or a daytime trunk-or-treat!

Let’s make it fun, flexible, and full of sweet moments. 🍬

🔥 October is Fire Awareness Month – Let’s Talk Autism & Safety! 🔥

At Key Connections ABA Services, we know that fire safety looks different for every family—especially those with children on the autism spectrum. Loud alarms, unfamiliar routines, and emergency situations can be overwhelming. But with the right supports, we can help children feel prepared, empowered, and safe.

🧠 Fire Safety Tips for Children with Autism:

✅ Use visual schedules and social stories to explain fire drills and escape plans
✅ Practice “Stay Low & Go” with fun, hands-on activities
✅ Label hazardous items with clear symbols like 🚫 or ❌
✅ Teach children to recognize first responders as helpers
✅ Create a sensory-friendly escape plan with comfort items and clear steps
✅ Let your child hear the alarm sound during practice so it’s familiar during a real emergency

👨‍🚒 Want to go further? Contact your local fire department’s non-emergency line to let them know you have a child with autism in the home. Many departments offer community education visits that are calm, friendly, and interactive!

Let’s make safety inclusive and proactive—because every child deserves to feel secure. 💙

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month!
This month—and every month—we uplift, celebrate, and stand with the Down syndrome community 💙💛

✨ Big news for Massachusetts families: Massachusetts has passed a new law requiring that health plans cover Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for individuals with Down syndrome. The law is part of Acts of 2024, Chapter 388 and mandates coverage of ABA, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.

📅 When does it take effect?
Starting January 1, 2026, this coverage requirement goes into effect.

Let’s use this month to not only celebrate individuals with Down syndrome, but also to highlight progress, push for more inclusion, and support every child’s right to evidence-based therapies. 💙💛

🚌✨ Back to School Tips!✨📚

It's almost time to head back to school—and that means new routines, new faces, and maybe even a new classroom. That can feel exciting and a little overwhelming, and that’s okay! 💙

Here are some tips to help your child get ready:

🔹 Start the Routine Early – Begin your morning and bedtime routines a week before school
starts.
🔹 Visit the School – Walk through the school, say hi to their teacher, and see their classroom if
you can.
🔹 Create a Visual Schedule – Knowing what comes next can help them feel in control.
🔹 Pack Comfort Items – A small fidget, picture, or sensory tool can help if things feel too big.

Preparing in advance makes a huge difference. You're doing an amazing job. 🌟
