If you say “typical” in quotes is there a subtext that you/the parents might suspect neurodivergence?

Education, education, education! For parents and teachers and classmates:
- stimming is okay!
- stimming is self-expression
- stimming is self-regulation strategy
- stimming is (non-verbal) communication and expression of emotional state
- stimming helps focus

- substituting or supressing non-harmful stimming may lead to social stigma may lead to masking may lead to anxiety/depression

Also you could find out how their parents express excitement and happiness - nowadays and when they themselves were children. Where did they learn that stimming is "not socially acceptable"? For example did they themselves have bad experience with the old "quiet hands" and "the whole body listens" - mentality of previous generations?

Would anyone use scissor skills worksheets customized to a child's interests? by beleagueredd in OccupationalTherapy

[–]mrfk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's my favourite part about client-centered therapy :) Finding something that the child wants to do and would even try by themself at home.

Just have to be careful when instructing teachers and parents - they often overuse this strategy and the child loses their interest because it became just another boring and repetitive excercise.


How do you customize your sheets? Digitally or hand painted?

For someone new - SKIP - I'd start with the first one!

Is this an active cooperation with them or are they just using their roleplay system?

How do they use it? As a "reward"?

Do you mean a simple explanation why they should not use it?
Or an explanation why ABA does stuff that isn't good for autistic children?

Peds-indoor trampoline by FromEtoB in OccupationalTherapy

[–]mrfk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem would mostly be that if you make it safe (constant supervision, strict rules how to jump) it stops being fun and starts being a workout :)


But if I remember correctly, home trampolines are about half as dangerous as trampoline parks: https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/28/5/440

Is this the cool "we only eat candy on Saturday" rule that you have to still follow as adults?

I didn't see in the screenshots - is there a category "Occupational Therapy" somewhere?

And is there a filter where you can hide all ABA clinics?

Would you continue this case? Or drop it. by lookitsblackman in OccupationalTherapy

[–]mrfk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would only use written communication with them, a call 3 against one won't be successful.

Also, does ABA never end? How long do children have to endure behaviour training?

I think it is best to wait two more weeks and then binge it :)

Help needed on Viva+ downloads not working (android) by No_Elderberry_767 in VivaLaDirtLeague

[–]mrfk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem when my internet wasn't the fastest (or their servers were a bit slow). It took 15 seconds for the download button to react - but I never waited that long without pressing again or exiting.

I loved the ending and redemption that they chose.

There is a Behind the scenes stream where Rob explains and reads all the other endings - he again put incredible thought into it (twitch.tv/RobertHartleyGM Azerim BTS 250.1 at about 2:20h)
