All children can enjoy outdoor play. Fresh air, sunshine and even sometimes the rain can be a real tonic. You will need to take into consideration your child’s needs – be it physical, cognitive or sensory – but there are some great benefits to outdoor play for children with autism.
The internet is quite something, isn’t it? It enables our children to communicate, play games and learn and can be a ‘go-to’ when our kids need to self-regulate or be entertained. But the internet can also be terrifying. Children, particularly autistic children, are vulnerable to online abuse and predators. It is therefore paramount that we teach our kids online safety to ensure that they are not at any risk when using online devices such as a tablet or computers.
