Babblz- Child Development Centre

Most parents don’t realize that a simple activity like placing clips while lying on a therapist’s lap can support so much more than just hand movement 💚

This activity helps improve bilateral coordination, core strength, shoulder stability, motor planning, attention, and body awareness — all at the same time. The supported lying position also helps the child feel calm, regulated, and secure, making it easier to focus, engage, and use both hands together with better control.

When therapy activities are planned with purpose, even the smallest playful moments can become meaningful steps toward development 💚

Why some common goals may not be the best fit for autistic kids 🤍

• Increasing eye contact — Eye contact can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming for many autistic individuals and isn’t the only sign of attention or connection.

• Eliminating echolalia or scripting — Repeating words or phrases can be a meaningful and natural way of processing and communicating language.

• Forcing “functional” or “appropriate” play — Every child has their own way of exploring, learning, and expressing themselves through play, and it doesn’t always need to fit a specific standard.

Different doesn’t mean wrong. Supporting autistic children should focus on understanding, communication, comfort, and individuality — not forcing them to appear neurotypical. ✨
