Thanks for these great tips🌷 Can you please make some videos about improving a child's attention? ( different attentions )

[@CarrieClarkCCCSLP]

I'll add it to the list! In the meantime, here's one on helping children establish joint attention (paying attention to the same thing as you) in case you need that: www.speechandlanguagekids.com/establishing-joint-attention-therapy-for-children-who-arent-tuned-in/

You replied to my comment but then deleted the video so I could not reply. Maybe you realized how bad it sounded? I’m glad you removed it. I understand some stims can be harmful but it didn’t sound like that was your point… it was very much “stims are bad here’s how to get your kid to stop” instead of focusing on “stims are good, they help autistic people regulate whenever understimulated or overstimulated.”

Thanks for your comment, I did respond and yes I did decide to take it down. The problem with the previous video is that it was a short snippet (designed to be 30 seconds or less) to introduce the topic so that people would click over to the article. Unfortunately, your comment (and others) made me see that people weren't clicking over to the article. So we're going to redo the video in a longer format so we can include the information from the article as well. The article (found in the link below) discusses how stimming is not a "bad" thing but that sometimes, a stim can be harmful or interfere with a child's life in such a way that he/she wants to stop it (or the family needs to stop it for safety reasons). Here is a quote from the article: "This information is to be used for a child who needs to stop a self-stimulatory behavior because it is either self-harming, interfering with a child’s education, or preventing him from making friends if he wants to make said friends. If a child is stimming but is not bothered by the stimming and is still able to function well in day-to-day life, then there is no need to replace the child’s self-stimulatory behavior with something else. Self-stimulatory behaviors should not be stopped just because it will make the child look weird if the child is not bothered by it. However, if the child is embarrassed by his or her stimming and wants to stop, there should be information available to show that family how to help the child. That is what this information is for." As you can see, I am in no way saying that all stimming is bad or should be stopped. But my perspective is one from a communication specialist. And stimming communicates an unmet need. If a person is seeking to replace a stimming behavior with something that is less harmful or disruptive to their lives, there are options available. That is my intended message. I'm sorry that the video clip was taken out of context of the full information. I really was hoping that people would click over and read it all. But I understand that in today's world, we don't often have time to stop and read a full article. Thank you for bringing to my attention how this looks out of context. As I said, I have plans of creating a new video that includes more information but still provides the help to individuals and families who need it.
