At times our resources are limited and there is not much we can do but to take matters into our own hands.

So I did.

During the transition period of insurance changes, all services are on hold. Any therapy that my son was currently receiving immediately stops. On one occasion we went months without Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapy before services could restart.

We noticed behaviors arising at school, so I decided to help my son out. If there is a will there is a way.

At the time my son was using a chew necklace, I decided to attach a badge holder with reminders to help him calm down. I labeled it “My Calming Card” I can’t remember exactly where I got the original template yet I added more to it. Safe to say it helped us. We unexpectedly went a full semester of school without therapy and he had the right tools to help get by during a school day.

I’m constantly creating things that I know my son can have access to while he is in school. This template that incorporates his favorite gaming console is meant to help guide him into what he can control.

If you have any questions or need help creating something for your child don’t hesitate to send me an email!

Blessings,

Vicky
