Mindfulness on the ASD Spectrum - "Magical" Presence Activities -

In this episode, we’re talking about something we use every single day with Alec: presence activities. These are closed-ended, hands-on tasks that help Alec focus his body and mind while giving him a sense of independence and accomplishment.We share why these kinds of activities are such an important part of his routine—not just as a proactive way to structure his time, but also as a reactive tool when things start to feel overwhelming. Whether it’s threading beads, dropping straws into a cup, picking up bean bags, or collecting the largest (or smallest) Connect Four pieces you've ever seen, these simple tasks can make a big impact.We’ll talk about how we introduce these activities, why they work, and how you can create your own set of presence activities tailored to your child’s interests and needs. It is not too late to introduce these to your learner, get started today and see the impact these simple tasks have! Send us Fan Mail
