Great topic! Your Directions are on point and specific… quick question in your practice do you incorporate ABA? Ps… your shirt is fun! Our school is over for the summer however we begin ESY next week… I have been creating fine motor tasks with a “summer like theme”… I always appreciate your videos… Thank You…

Hey Ellen! Thanks for the comment and sorry for the delay, I definitely incorporate behavioral strategies into my practice (I'm not sure if they are technically ABA or not). Strategies like positive reinforcement, providing choices, limiting distractions, fostering engagement through access to tangibles/rewards, etc. Thank YOU for watching my videos and being a constant support!

Hello my 4 year old son is having a hard time in preschool. He’s not wanting to listen and likes to be disruptive. I am struggling so much with this as I feel like we are constantly talking the negative at school. Help what should I do
