It’s that time of year again where swimming becomes a focus for all children. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder are no different, however, their lessons may need to be tailored for individual learning styles.

One of the defining characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is impairments in communicative behaviours used for social interactions and difficulty developing, maintaining and understanding relationships.

“The early intervention through Learning for Life not only helped Udayan (Udi) in reaching his potential but also helped us become confident parents, socially and emotionally”.

It can be really difficult to see your child experiencing such high levels of anxiety in various situations. It is important to trial different strategies to see what works best for your child.

Transitions can be hard for anyone, but for some children with ASD, they can experience greater difficulty transitioning from one task or one environment to another. Thankfully there are strategies that can be put in place to help them in these situations.

Over the last four years, many of you have followed the story of Luca, one of our L4Life legends who has had access to ABA therapy thanks to Fair Access and our generous supporters and donors, fundraisers and grants. In 2019, Luca started his first school year. We couldn’t be more proud.

See what his dad, David, had to say about Luca reaching the milestone of his first day of school.
