Creating Opportunities for Co-Regulatory Support
from We chose play from Affect Autism Hosted by Daria Brown
Sometimes the biggest challenge parents have with their autistic children who have meltdowns is meeting the child emotionally and connecting. Here, we need to find the affect they’re having in that moment in order to support them to feel heard and understood. Developmental, Individual differences, Relationship-based (DIR®) Expert and Training Leader, Kasheena Holder, joins us to discuss this process of providing co-regulatory support for our children. Kasheena is a Special Education Teacher in Barbados and works with the International Council on Development and Learning. She owns a local private practice in Barbados called First Step where she supports children with neurodiversities and their families. Sad note: Kasheena passed away in December of 2024 and is fondly remembered for her generous spirit.
