Podcast Episode: Turning "Posting" Frustration into Fun!

In this episode, we dive into a common challenge faced by parents and educators of autistic children: Compulsive posting behaviours. You know, that behavior where kids love to put small objects into any gap they can find? While it can be frustrating, it’s actually a valuable developmental stage!

Discover the concepts of schema play, including trajectory and containing, and learn how to create engaging activities that support your child's development. We’ll also discuss strategies to enhance communication, even for non-verbal children.

Let’s celebrate our little "postmasters" and help them thrive!
