Autism: Did you know...

We've just added in a new free resource that is specifically designed for parents and teachers of kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It provides strategies to help kids stay focused for longer periods of time, to help them focus on the things you want them to and not get distracted plus tips for teaching kids with limited pencil skills.

As an Occupational Therapist I've been tired of watching kids with Autism / ASD struggle with play and schoolwork that is too hard for them. Finding therapists with experience is difficult and there are often long waiting lists. The Theracrew website was created to provide parents and teachers with specialist learning activities that they can do at home, at pre-school and at school. The ideas behind our products have all originated from working with particular kids with Autism / ASD, where our therapist's needed to create something unique, because it simply didn't exist anywhere else.

It just seems to be common sense to provide kids with Autism / ASD with play and schoolwork adapted specifically to the way they learn. Every product contains visual strategies / instructions using the Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) from Boardmaker TM. Its amazing how much longer kids can concentrate for when activities are targeted towards their learning style.
