Nasaiah’s Day
A video that describes a packed day in the life of one autistic child.
Autistic children may have unique challenges to deal with during the course of each day, but a parent’s support can make a huge difference. As you watch the video, consider these ideas:
- All children should be exposed to many different experiences, but take it slow if need be.
- Model helpful language and behavior, and acknowledge feelings such as fear, worry, or pride!
- Being visible in the community goes a long way to making inclusion more of a reality.
