Priorities with ASD & ADHD
What comes first?
Welcome to the Different Skill Notebook! My name is Ana Anselma your host. In this episode, I bring you into one of my parents' consults where we discuss the learning profile of a child that has been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD & Dyslexia.
In this episode, we will review an Autism, ADHD & Dyslexia profile and prioritize an intervention plan based on the child's & family needs as well as academic expectations.
At the Social Mind Center when we assist a family in mapping out a skill-building plan to address skill deficits, we consider the entire family unit. We prioritize social and emotional health.
Discussed in this episode is a strategy to increase self-awareness of body, mind, and emotions to develop self-control/self-regulation.
Skill: Self-regulation involves three main skill components: Cognitive flexibility, impulse control, and working memory. When one is overly tired, stressed or mentally exhausted, all these skill abilities deteriorate.
Strategy: Guide transition to a safe space that reduces sensory stimulation and allows him to calm his body and mind. He will require assistance with this transition initially.
Build:
Self-awareness of when mind and body are overloaded and stressed requires a break to calm body and mind.
