Episode #3: Healthy Parent & Teacher Relationships around Autistic and SEND Children
<p>Have you noticed how the end of the school day is often the exact moment when our children’s emotions seem to burst? It’s all too common. Autistic and SEND children are especially prone to this. They do a great job keeping themselves in check all day, and then lose control during the handoff from teacher to parent.</p> <p>We’ve noticed that too. And we have some great news—it’s a pattern that we know how to address!</p> <p>I got to sit down with Lynn McCann for this week’s podcast, where we unpacked the relationship between parents and teachers and received some great ideas for more open communication.</p> <p><a href="https://hubs.ly/Q01qZ30Y0"><strong>[Download the Free Worksheet]</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Graphics for you</strong></p> <p>If you want to share a quote from this episode on social media, <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mcoPtCkdD74q0NxTEwZLus1nFKy7czJx?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><strong>check out these graphics</strong></a>.

Are we helping our children avoid circumstances that cause excess anxiety and helping them cope with their sensory diet?</p> <p>The <u>Social Stories</u> framework stresses the danger of forcing blind compliance to a task or action. This can leave a child vulnerable to being taken advantage of. Instead, Lynn shared ways to rephrase requests in clearer ways that lead to greater understanding and choice.</p> <p>Both frameworks were incredibly simple and eye-opening!</p> <p>Listen to the full episode on Friday, October 7, and <a href="https://hubs.ly/Q01nH5s70"><strong>download the free leader guide</strong></a> for discussion questions and ideas on learning more about supporting children and young people with diverse needs.</p> <p>Each month we are going deeper into topics that will help you practically engage your child daily.
