Last month, Singapore celebrated World Autism Awareness Day. As our nation becomes more inclusive of Autistic individuals, let’s celebrate the businesses empowering them! For today’s #ADFBFeatureFriday, we want to feature Metta Café. Established in 2014, Metta Café was set up to provide food and beverage vocational training for Metta School graduates aged 18 and above with Autism and mild intellectual disability. Its comprehensive training and development programmes provide a platform for these youths to acquire vocational, work and life skills and create job opportunities to help them achieve economic independence and self-reliance. We thank Metta Café for being the first Autism-inclusive café to pledge to welcome Assistance Dogs and their handlers in Singapore. If you know of others keen to welcome Assistance Dogs and their handlers onto their premises, please enter their names below! ---------------- Photo descriptions in the alt text ---------------- #K9Assistance #AssistanceDogs #AssistanceDogsSG #AssistanceDogsInSingapore #SGDogs #ServiceDogsSingapore #ADFB #AssistanceDogFriendlyBusiness #InclusiveBusiness #SayYesToInclusion #GivingTheGiftOfDignity #BarrierFree #DEI #MettaCafe #FoodAndBeverage #SocialEnterprise #Autism #IntellectualDisabilities

🌟 Importance of Daily Routines for Children with Intellectual Disabilities 🌟 Creating a consistent daily routine is crucial for children living with intellectual disabilities. It provides structure, stability, and a sense of security, which can greatly benefit their development and well-being. Here are some examples of activities that can be included in their daily routines: 1. Morning routine: Start the day with a structured morning routine that includes waking up at the same time, personal hygiene tasks, and a nutritious breakfast. 2. Learning activities: Incorporate educational activities tailored to their needs, such as reading, puzzles, or interactive games that promote cognitive development. 3. Physical activities: Engage in physical exercises or activities like walking, stretching, or playing in the park to promote physical health and well-being. 4. Creative time: Encourage creativity through art projects, music, or sensory play to stimulate imagination and self-expression. 5. Relaxation time: Include relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, listening to calming music, or mindfulness activities to help them unwind and manage stress. Consistency is key when establishing a routine for children with intellectual disabilities. It provides a sense of predictability and helps them feel more secure and confident in their daily lives. Let's support their growth and well-being by prioritizing structured routines tailored to their unique needs! 💙 To support Chinua Foundation, please donate to: Account Name: Chinua Children Care Foundat Bank Name: Guaranty Trust Bank Account Number: 0737650555 For Dollar Donations: Account Name: Chinua Children Care Foundat Bank Name: Guaranty Trust Bank Account Number: 0737600701 Swift code: GTBINGLA SORT CODE: 058152026 #ChinuaFoundation #SpecialNeedsParenting #DailyRoutine #IntellectualDisabilities #ChildDevelopment #StructuredLiving #InclusiveEducation 🌈

Here's a BLOG to transform your journey. 📚 Truth? I had a bumpy ride and made a lot of mistakes. And, from the mistakes I learned 7 huge lessons. Here's the deal... 👇 Teachers often start their career with lessons prepared and expectations of changing the world. The reality is we work with humans and being human means education can be messy. The how-tos and process gets glossed over by trying to made educators and psychologist do TO MUCH without the right resources. Process and experience are the real teachers when it comes to the classroom. Read the blog that takes you inside what really happens behind classroom doors. Let's get real and honest about education. 👉 DM BLOG 8 to read the truth about what educators go through every day #iepblog #parentingblog #teacherblog #teachersweek2024 #specialeducation #iep #disability #autismawareness #adhd #intellectualdisabilities #schoolpsych #parentadvocate #iepmom #advocatelikeamother #momsupport #momsofchildrenwithdisabilities #resourcesformoms #disabilitycommunity #youarenotalone #disabilityparenting

For our neurodivergent children, predictability is key to feeling secure. 🔐 ⁠ ⁠ The lack of predictability fuels anxiety, paving the way for meltdowns. It's the feeling of being unprepared, caught off guard.⁠ ⁠ As parents, we can definitely help with that and make things a little less triggering for them. 💛 ⁠ ⁠ That's where routines come in! They offer comfort amidst life's uncertainties, reducing anxiety and meltdowns.⁠ ⁠ Swipe through the slides to learn more about neurodivergence and predictability. 📲 Then, come back tomorrow when we share tips on creating routines and helping with predictability! ⁠ ⁠ Do you resonate with this? How do your kids react to lack of predictability? Let's talk about it in the comments. 👇

Thailand provides free education, from primary school to college, for each and every person with disabilities, yet the reality paints a stark picture. Less than 10% of people with disabilities even get around to completing their high school, let alone being gainfully employed. . Even though Thailand has implemented the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities Act to ensure all persons with disabilities are employed, only 6.2% of them are actually part of the workforce. As for infrastructure that allows inclusivity, Thailand lags far behind its neighbours. . #INCLUSIVITY #Disabilities #Wheelchair #PeopleWithDisabilities #Deaf #Blind #Autism #IntellectualDisabilities #LearningDisabilities #Thailand

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and our team at Anderson Center Consulting and Training has a TUESDAY TIP that might be useful! Autistic and neurodivergent individuals, like all of us, often become very stressed when experiencing sensory overload. There are actually many ways to help "deactivate" the central nervous system - among them: deep breaths. If a child is unable to follow directions, perhaps model the behavior of breathing in and out slowly over the course of two minutes - inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth (have the young person blow on his/her/their hand on the out breath). If breathwork feels like it's not working well, another option is to go for a "mindful" nature walk, pointing out the colors you see and the sounds you hear along the way. If the child is able to verbalize similar responses to the environment, encourage that he/she/they communicate those observations Mindfulness can really help reduce stress, which can make life so much brighter. May children, parents, and caregivers alike all take some time on a regular basis to enjoy meditative activities that soothe the soul! Our team from Anderson Center Consulting and Training is always here to help offer other ideas to decrease stress and build resilience - during mental health month and all year long! Email us today to learn more about our onsite and online training programs: [email protected] #actuallyautistic #neurodiversitytraining #neurodiversity #autismtraining #specialneedsparents #specialneedsteachers #specialneeds #neurodiverse #neurodivergent #autisticemployees #neurodivergentemployees #workplaceculture #neurodiverseworkplace #neurodiverseteam #community #andersoncenterconsultingandtraining #corporatetraining #communitytraining #autismworkshops #neurodiversitytraining #inclusion #accessibility #diversity #equity #socialimpact #intellectualdisabilities #ASE #ASC

Today we are celebrating Olabowale Fashola, who has been serving Jill's House for seven years, first as a Direct Support Professional, then as a medical technician, and now as a nurse! She loves spending time with family and friends while sharing a good meal and catching up. Her favorite thing about Jill's House is "connecting and being here for such a beautiful group. I hope they leave happy and excited for future returns. I also hope they know how much joy they bring." #jillshouse #intellectualdisabilities #nationalnursesweek #nursing #weloveournurses

We want to give a huge shoutout to the Foundation for Developmental Disabilities (FDD) for donating a $10,000 grant to help fund our Client Social Club (CSC)! The FDD's mission is to generate and distribute funds to innovative programs that enhance the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) in San Diego and Imperial Counties. We are so grateful for their generous grant, which helped fund some of our CSC events, including Bingo night and the Laugh, Love and Brunch Ball. Thank you again, FDD! #FoundationforDD #FDDGrantee #clientsocialclub #homeofguidinghands #grant #nonprofit #developmentaldisabilities #intellectualdisabilities #disability

Intellectual disability is not a laughing matter, but it is important to understand and support those affected. Let's promote empathy, inclusion, and resources for individuals and families navigating life with intellectual disabilities. . . . . . . #intellectualdisabilityawareness #intellectualdisabilities #empathy #inclusion #support #understanding #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters

Good Tuesday Morning and this day April 30th is the last day of Autism Awareness Month. As it is the last day of Autism Awareness Month I want to address what this means. I made this to oppose the use of the R word. I don’t even want to tell you what it is but it is a very terrible and foul name for those with intellectual disabilities (including ones with autism) (mainly non verbal autism). Sadly even many scientists would say this word and even some textbooks would too. If you look at my highlights below my profile in the one that says “important” you’d see that I mentioned that my nutrition textbook had that word. Share this post and spread awareness. Textbooks should not use that word. Ever. #therword #worldautismmonth #autismawareness #notorword #intellectualdisabilities #textbooks
