Apr 11, 2024for children on the autism spectrum.
Shannon breaks down the seven common stressors faced by these children, including sensory challenges, level of interest, uncertainty, degree of control, performance demands, social demands, and length of time. She explores real-life scenarios where these stressors
might show up and provide practical examples and strategies to support our children proactively.
Listeners learn how to recognize and lessen sensory overload, navigate uncertainties, provide their children with a sense of control, and ease social and performance-related stressors. Shannon emphasizes the importance of understanding and accommodating these stressors to set our children up for success in various environments.
When you can assess the stressors and plan appropriate accommodations, you can help your children navigate challenges with confidence and resilience.
