How to Keep Your Child with ASD Engaged at Home

With schools and centers closing as the quarantine is still in effect, thinking of ways on how to keep your child occupied with activities at home can be challenging. Behavioral problems tend to arise when a child does not have the skills to keep himself busy. This can be a source of stress for many families as they ask some of these frequently asked questions: “How can I teach my child with ASD to do anything at home?”, “How can I have them play with other activities aside from gadgets?”, “I don’t have any materials and/or toys at home, what else can I do?”

In this free two-hour webinar, our very own experienced therapists will answer these questions and more through discussions, role plays, and Q&A. They will also tackle the Why’s, How To’s, and strategies on the following:

• Importance of setting expectations for you and your child
• Planning from implementing structured to unstructured activities
• Identify meaningful and age-appropriate activities for your child
