KidSpeak is taking a break from blogging to vacation with our families and to wrap up the rest of the spring semester! We will be back in June to start our summer blog project of providing a weekly language learning, summer-related activity that you can do with your child.
In the meantime, we recommend taking a look back at our older blogs……scroll through and pick ones that may catch your eye. Read blogs that you’ve already read, they may have a different effect on you and your family now than they did when you initially read them. Share links with friends that you think would benefit from a read. This is also the perfect time to start prepping your child for any special summer activities or vacations you will be partaking in. The more exposure your child gets to these unfamiliar events, the more successful they will be when it’s time to have fun! Do fun art projects relating to the events, read theme-related books, write your child social stories preparing them for what will happen, show your child old photos from previous summers, take your child to the area in advance to let them get familiar with the environment and more. Check out our Easter blog for more specific ideas: http://www.autismspot.com/blog/Easters-its-way
Have fun preparing for the summer and we will be back in June!

vacation
Really great ideas to get you kids used to something new. I know it can be a real pain to try to get them out of the house sometime. I usually like to find some sort of TV show that features the place that we are going to. I have found some really good shows on Discovery and the Travel channel that have just about anything that you are looking for. I have found that my kids seem to get really excited for the trip and forget about everything else.
