As the leaves change and the air gets crisp, a trip to a pumpkin patch, apple orchard, or local fall fest are not just for making memories; they're opportunities to practice important skills with your child! 🍏🍁👇🏼

🎃Practice Simple Directions: "Pick 1 apple", "Point to a small pumpkin"

🍁Social skills: Greeting vendors, waiting in line, and sharing

☕️Communication: Using words, gestures, or pictures to ask for what they want or comment on something they see

🥧Making choices: Selecting a pumpkin, choosing a treat, or deciding which activity to do next

🍎New Experiences Promote Growth: Try new tastes such as apple cider, encourage touching of the inside of a pumpkin, and stop and listen to the sounds of a farm!
