Using Schedules During School Breaks

12/25/2018

Breaks from school can be a time for great fun and activities with family. For some kids, losing the structure of school days can be challenging. Using schedules during school breaks keeps kids in the loop about what's coming next and provides structure for those who prefer structure to lots of downtime.
Similarly, this tool can help prepare children for activities they aren't used to, such as big family gatherings or outings. They can also help indicate changes in the schedule.

For readers, a simple list of activities for the day can be useful.
For those who prefer pictures or icons, a schedule with visual icons can map out the day in a fun and appealing way. You can search for icons/pictures of activities on Google, take pictures of your own, or even draw icons.
Visual schedules can be as simple or complex as you want them to be!

Here are some examples of visual schedules:

Happy Holidays!

Keeping Halloween Fun

With Halloween right around the corner, here are some tips for keeping your evening fun and low-stress!

Practice wearing costumes: Practicing early allows children to get accustomed to their costume. If you notice there are certain aspects of the costume that are uncomfortable, you’ll have time to make alterations before Halloween. Altering the costume to make it easier to remove (if needed) and/or bringing a back-up outfit can provide alternate options to keep your Halloween low-stress.
Decorate gradually: For those who are overwhelmed by sudden changes in the environment, consider keeping Halloween decor minimal or gradually decorating over a period of time.
Use a visual schedule, stories, or videos to explain what happens during trick-or-treating!
Practice trick-or-treating at a familiar place: Let your neighbors know you’ll be practicing your trick-or-treating skills before Halloween. Some children may practice trick-or-treating in the hallways of their school. Seattle Children’s Autism Center will also be offering a trick-or-treat event on Saturday, October 27th from 10am to 12pm.
Offer other options: You and your child may decide that going trick-or-treating is not how you want to spend Halloween. Staying home to pass out candy is another great option!

Happy Halloween!
