I found some resources that might be helpful for students as they adjust to wearing masks. They are from the website https://www.autismlittlelearners.com/. Please reach out to me if you need suggestions for your student to get use to wearing a mask. She has made some great resources for all kiddos during this time.

I am frequently asked how to maintain, foster, and promote skills in kids especially in the summer. My answer is always a simple one - PLAY.
Play is an essential activity for kids. Whether it be building with blocks, completing puzzles, playing a board game, kicking a soccer ball, or playing dress up - play develops many skills needed for everyday activities and tasks. So - put down those workbooks and flash cards and let your kid be a kid. Go outside and blow bubble with them, challenge them to a marathon Monopoly game, go on a bike ride together, lie on the floor and do a jigsaw puzzle, or simply roll down the hill with them. Have fun with them - not only will you be helping them develop, you will be making memories! |
