 Identifying and providing access to safe spaces and faces that enable our children to feel calm. Somewhere quiet to eat lunch. Lunch rules are overwhelming, food is overwhelming, hungry children are not regulated. Somewhere quiet will make a big difference, I promise please do it. Providing alternatives to those times in the day when every child in the school is trying to go through the same door. Enable your autistic kids to arrive early or late or to use a different entrance. Enable autistic kids to join in at break times and lunch times by actually organizing activities and games that have clear rules of engagement. The movement between places and spaces can be really challenging for our autistic learners. Let's think about how to make those feel a bit calmer or to introduce calming activities. Support autistic learners to develop their self-soothed strategies, look to their stims because they've often got some really great strategies for this already and provide space, access and permission for them to use these strategies as needed.
