Exceptional Ease Family I would like for you to meet our newest Exceptional Hero Natasha! Natasha is near and dear to my heart because she was one of my first exceptional babies that I had the pleasure of pouring into as a teacher. I absolutely love her! She was diagnosed with autism at the age of 4. Her hero of a mom shared that the most rewarding thing about her journey has been being able to witness all the tremendous developmental and academic strides she has made. Before receiving her diagnosis, Natasha had issues with verbal communication, however with the support of her speech therapist she has developed confidence and speaks what’s on her mind. Academically, she has earned awards in her core academic subjects and has plans to attend college one day. Natasha sometimes still has challenges with meeting new people and initiating conversation, but with time she’s able to make connections and build strong relationships. Mom wants other parents to know that the earlier you speak up and ask for help, the sooner your child can receive the necessary support and services. Her advice is to connect with other parents to help in building your community. Natasha has dreams of entrepreneurship and owning her own pet store and mom is working on establishing a non-profit that focuses on building college and career readiness skills as well as providing scholarships to children with special needs. Swipe to see more of Natasha’s awesomeness and drop a comment to show Natasha and her mom some love for being amazing Exceptional Heroes!!!

Hi there Exceptional Ease Family! I would like you to meet DeAndre! DeAndre is Autistic and was diagnosed at age 3. He was mute until approximately age 9. When DeAndre began to learn to speak, he started with using one word at a time and has gradually been progressing to using full sentences. His mom and dad who are certainly Exceptional Heroes themselves work together to share in his growth and attribute DeAndre’s progress to his awesome team of therapist as well as his obsession with microphones. He loves to make pretend speeches using a microphone and has even created his own stand using boxes around the house. DeAndre also loves cars. His mother has created a non profit organization with a mission to provide resources and build a community of support for parents and caregivers with loved ones on the autism spectrum. Mom has shared that one of the biggest challenges on their journey is learning to be patient and understanding especially through the bad and ugly days they sometimes have, however she is trusting this ongoing process as she continues learning and watching him THRIVE! We honor DeAndre and both his loving parents as EXCEPTIONAL HEROES and welcome them all to the family! Follow DeAndre on his journey
You can also join the Autism and Us Facebook group for support from others on a similar journey. Let’s show DeAndre some love by saying hi and dropping a 🎤 or 🏎

⭐️Find out your child’s reading level. In the average situation this can be provided by your child’s reading teacher. If you homeschool there are specific assessments you can administer through your chosen program.

⭐️Once their level is determined, provide books on that level or slightly above. Many struggling readers do so because they are constantly being presented with text that exceeds their current abilities. If they are given text that aligns with their levels it increases confidence and you are likely to see their interest in reading increase.
You can certainly continue to expose them to higher level text, just read it with them and not provide as an independent task.

⭐️Read with your child for 20 minutes daily. Consistently is key here. Daily reading for 20 minutes creates a necessary routine and sets a tone. Daily reading can consist of text they are able to read independently or switch it up a little and read higher level text to them.

Try independent reading where they read something and you are reading something as well. Afterwards you can both share what you read.

You can also try reading the higher level text to them and asking questions and/or providing explanations as needed throughout the reading. Be sure they are looking at the words while you read.

Good work ethic is such an imperative principle to foster. We have heard time after time that it’s not the smartest or the swiftest person that will accomplish their goals, but the person that has the determination to keep at it and work hard will always win! The wins may look different because we are all different, our children are different, our students are different, our goals are different, but there is one thing that will always be the same and that’s you can’t accomplish anything without putting in the work.

You may be wondering well how do I teach this? My child or student isn’t motivated. They are discouraged because they have challenges with their academics and things don’t come easy. They have severe cognitive delays so there is nothing I can do. I know there are so many thoughts running through your head because I speak to people everyday about this very same thing. The best way to teach good work ethic is by MODELING.
Children see you, they hear you, they watch how you move, they watch how you respond to challenges. Setting a good example for them is the best place to start. What good work ethic habits are you modeling?
