Time for a TUESDAY TIP from Anderson Center Consulting and Training! Summer may mean relaxation and restoration for many students, but for autistic and neurodivergent individuals, the lack of a school routine can be very difficult. If you are spending time with a young person who thrives on structure, be mindful of the many ways you can create that - even when school is out of session! Develop a set schedule for weekdays, and an itinerary for weekends, and hang it on the fridge. Photos depicting activities may also be used to help increase understanding and independence for some individuals. (for example, "pool time" with a graphic of a swimmer; "reading time" with an image of a book beside it.) We all deserve to enjoy this special time of year; make it as joyful as possible for autistic and neurodivergent children by giving them what they most need to experience it fully! And remember - we're here if you need us. If you'd benefit from an in-home consultation or parent training on this or any number of topics, reach out to our team at Anderson Center Consulting and Training today: acct@andersoncares.org. #actuallyautistic #neurodiversitytraining #neurodiversity #autismtraining #specialneedsparents #specialneedsteachers #specialneeds #neurodiverse #neurodivergent #autisticemployees #neurodivergentemployees #workplaceculture #neurodiverseworkplace #neurodiverseteam #community #andersoncenterconsultingandtraining #corporatetraining #communitytraining #autismworkshops #neurodiversitytraining #inclusion #accessibility #diversity #equity #socialimpact #intellectualdisabilities #ASE #ASC #ACCT

Having a LifeCoach can profoundly impact at-risk youth by increasing emotional intelligence (EQ), building cognitive skills, and supporting identity development. Research shows that strong relationships with non-parental adults help youth manage challenges like depression and delinquency while encouraging positive developmental pathways.
