Okay, let’s be real. 

Being a parent is tough, and being a parent to a kid with autism can feel like you’re juggling chainsaws while riding a unicycle. 

But guess what? You’re doing an amazing job!

And one of the best ways to support your little one is by being an active part of their therapy.

Think of it this way: you’re your kid’s number one cheerleader, their personal coach, and their biggest fan all rolled into one. By teaming up with their therapists, you’re creating an awesome support system.

Here’s how to level up your therapy game:

• Hang out with the pros: If you can, pop in on therapy sessions. It’s like getting a front-row seat to your kid’s rockstar moments!
• Chat it up with the therapist: Don’t be shy about asking questions or sharing what you’re seeing at home. Your insights are gold!
• Practice makes progress: Try to sneak in a little therapy fun at home. It’s like homework, but way more fun (promise).
• Celebrate small wins: Every tiny step forward is a huge deal. High-five those victories!
• Take care of yourself: You can’t pour from an empty cup. Make time for you – even if it’s just for a few minutes.

Remember, you’re not alone in this. 

There are tons of other parents cheering you on. Connect with them, share stories, and know that you’re doing an incredible job.
