We hold the belief that every child deserves to thrive, and more specifically, we believe children and individuals with autism should have the opportunity to realize their inherent potential and achieve the greatest degree of independence and highest quality of life possible.
An Introduction to Reinforcements: What is Reinforcement?
When it comes to working with children with autism, motivation is key to unlocking their potential. If we examine ourselves, we will see that when we are motivated, we are driven to work hard to achieve our desired goals. Understanding what it truly means to be motivated comes down to understanding the role of reinforcement and how it affects behaviour.
What are ‘Learning-How-to-Learn’ skills?
Learning is not simply about acquiring knowledge from only within the confined walls of a classroom. For most children, learning opportunities are present in their everyday lives as they interact and learn from the people and environment around them. Thus, learning-how-to-learn skills is a group of skills combined that equips the child to become a more effective and independent learner. This can come in the form of academic, social, and communication skills a child develops during their learning process which, are often not directly addressed.
How to Teach Child with Autism to Ask Questions
Most children with autism need a certain degree of support with their language understanding. Teaching children with autism to ask questions is a helpful way to improve their language understanding. Common questions such as “What is this?” and “Where is the object/person?” can be taught in structured situations, allowing children to seek information and clarify confusion. By actively setting up such situations, parents and caregivers can help children develop their language skills and build their understanding of the world around them.
Navigating Social Skills for Children with ASD
Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD is defined by a persistent deficit in social communication and social interaction across multiple settings. Individuals with autism can present with various degrees of social challenges from being awkward to having no social interests at all. It is a common assumption that children with ASD are not socially interested. While this may be true for some children, it is not the case for all children with autism. Many children who have ASD are socially interested but may lack the skills to socially interact and communicate with their peers.

As mentioned in our previous article, it is common that children with ASD to have poor or little desire to learn because of the lack of motivation to accomplish their goals. This makes it hard for us to teach them the things we would like them to learn.
