Cherie “Chers” Clarity

One of the reasons I love our peace table is that it works both at home and in the classroom.

As an educator, I use some of these same wellness and sensory tools with my students. At home, our family uses them to help manage stress, sensory overload, anxiety, and those moments when we simply need a break from the noise of the world.

Mental health matters for children and adults alike. Sometimes a few minutes of calm can make all the difference.

Which item would you put on your own peace table?

Most people see a table.

We see a place to breathe.

As a neurodivergent family, we’ve learned that emotional regulation doesn’t just happen. Sometimes you have to create spaces that support it. This little peace table has become a place where we can slow down, reset, and take care of our mental health together.

This is where we go when life feels overwhelming, when emotions are running high, or when we simply need a moment of calm.

What’s a “small” win your child with autism had recently that meant everything to you? Share it below. Let’s celebrate our kids together. 💙

🚨 Colorado just passed a MAJOR win for child safety! House Bill 1425, signed by Gov. Polis, regulates autism therapy providers for the FIRST time after serious complaints like s*x offenders being hired, raw chicken served to kids, excessive restraints, and over $78 million in questionable Medicaid billing. The new rules create a Behavior Analyst Board, require licensing for analysts and technicians by 2028, and add oversight for clinics serving 3 or more children. This protects vulnerable kids while raising standards.
But why does this matter so much? Vulnerable autistic children can’t always speak up for themselves, and those horror stories exposed real dangers in unregulated clinics. As teachers, we see the fallout every day in our classrooms—unaddressed behaviors and trauma that add to educator burnout. This regulation is a real step toward accountability, because protecting kids also means supporting the adults who teach and care for them. We need stronger systems like this nationwide.
Policy wins like this prove change is possible. Colorado is leading the way, but one state isn’t enough—every state must regulate autism therapies. Parents, teachers, and advocates, your voice matters! Demand better protections for our children. Share this if you believe kids deserve safe care. What’s your take? Should every state follow?
