While putting our Christmas decorations into the attic after the holidays, I noticed boxes that I had not opened in the fifteen years we have lived in our current home. I decided it was time to do a little of my own purging, so I brought down a box from the attic filled with cards from family and friends and love notes from my husband. As I sat at the kitchen table sorting through the box, I recalled memories connected to the handmade cards from my boys and my husband’s affection for me put into words. There were also cards inherited from my mom upon her passing that I had given her in years past. With tears in my eyes, I realized how incredibly blessed I am, but seeing the cards reminded me how much I missed her.

When it comes to learning new skills, autistic children need more opportunities to learn and engage. One of the best ways to do that is by involving other important people in the child’s life – parents, grandparents, siblings and other caregivers – and incorporating their skills and interests into the natural rhythms of a child’s day. With a “strength-based approach,” meaning the practice or strategy in identifying and drawing upon the strength and interests of an individual, their family, and community to achieve engagement and results as a partner, families can achieve an established goal set out for a child with autism.
