The woman looked at the nonverbal child and said
“I don’t know what autism is, and I don’t care. Just make her stop.”
A woman nearby asked the mother to take the keys away and make her stop.
The woman looked at the nonverbal child and said, “I don’t know what autism is, and I don’t care. Just make her stop.”
Yesterday, after JASE closed, I saw one of our families in the parking lot. The child had taken her mom’s car keys and was pressing the buttons.
A woman nearby asked the mother to take the keys away and make her stop.
The mother apologized and explained, “I’m sorry, my daughter has autism. It’s a disability, just as your mother has a disability that requires you to use a wheelchair for her.”
My son is 17. I’ve spent most of his life navigating the stares, comments, judgment, and the need to explain behaviors that others don’t understand.
Not everyone will understand autism.
Not everyone will recognize what autism looks like.
But everyone is capable of kindness.
That mother shouldn’t have had to defend or explain her daughter to a stranger just to go about her day.
We’ve spent years building autism AWARENESS.
Now we need to build ACCEPTANCE.

Play is how children make sense of the world around them! 🧠✨

Swipe through to see 4 ways our playground helps kids build real-world academic concepts beyond the traditional classroom:

1️⃣ Math on the Swings: Every push is a counting opportunity and introduces early addition concepts!
2️⃣ Spatial Awareness on the Monkey Bars: Moving side to side, over, under, above, and below helps children master essential positional vocabulary.
3️⃣ Sensory Science in the Sandbox: Hands-on play fosters scientific exploration and volume concepts.
4️⃣ Physics & Math on the Slide: Asking “How far?” or “How fast?” brings real-world math and science to life as they slide down!
Which part of the playground does your little one love the most? Let us know in the comments below! 👇💬

He’s sitting there crying and no one did or said anything to trigger him.

The school says he’s crying because he doesn’t want to do the work.

They say his pacing is disruptive and he elopes to avoid directions.

BUT my son has told me WHY he leaves.

What is YOUR child trying to communicate ?

Jasen and his therapist drove around the parking lot for a week.

The doctor ordered bloodwork at the beginning of summer.
Barbara, his BCBA promised she was going to prep him and have him do the bloodwork by the end of summer.
Every session for one month Jasen and his RBT watched a 2 minute videos on YouTube of someone getting their blood drawn.
They simulate the process with a rubber band and a toy needle.
The second month Barbara took Jasen to the parking lot of the pediatrician’s office.
They sat in the car as she explained the process to him.
For a week she drove around the parking lot with him.
The final week of summer they sat in the waiting room and then in the room where he would get his blood drawn.
On Friday before Jasen went back to school Jasen had his blood drawn for the first time since he was four years old.
No tears. No struggle.
You don't break a fear by pushing harder. You break it with consistent behavioral strategies.
