I am a mom of four, with two Autistic kids. My own experiences and children inspired the creation of my placemat designs. I'm passionate about empowering other parents and caregivers to guide development, and turn mealtimes into moments we hit important milestones. I'm excited to share these tools with you, and help you with your child. Functional communication is the ability to effectively convey needs, wants, and thoughts. For children with autism or developmental delays, this skill is crucial for daily life, relationships, and well-being. Traditional communication methods may be challenging, so functional communication encompasses alternative methods for effective communication. By using functional communication, children can express their thoughts & feelings more clearly and independently, reducing frustration & anxiety. This can also lead to improved social interactions and independence. Visuals, such as signs, pictures, and gestures, can help children with autism or developmental delays by providing a clear and consistent way to communicate, assisting language development, and reducing frustration and anxiety. By using visuals, children can develop communication skills, build vocabulary, and improve social interactions. Additionally, visuals can also help children identify and understand emotions, and develop important social skills like eye contact and turn-taking. Modeling sign language can be a helpful way to support children with autism or developmental delays in developing functional communication skills. By using consistent and simple signs, parents and caregivers can help children learn new vocabulary and phrases, understand language structure, and express themselves more effectively. Additionally, modeling sign language can reduce frustration and anxiety caused by misunderstandings, foster independence, and enhance social interaction. For children with Autism, speech or communication delays, and nonverbal kids, parents & caregivers play a crucial role in facilitating communication development. Modelling language, ASL, & using visual aids to reinforce learning over repetitive routine of mealtimes, creates a structured & supportive environment for learning Smarty Mats have been lovingly designed to guide you in modelling effective, easy to use, evidence based strategies to spark moments you . Put down a placemat and start modelling communication with our brightly illustrated visual aids. Model language and reinforce understanding by connecting visuals and sign language. Model the use of communication for requests, responding, and commenting. Expand communication skills by using visual aids to create word combinations, model back and forth commenting and responding, and using core communication concepts repeatedly through daily routines. Communcaition development is a skill worth celebrating, and we are so happy to be invited to the party. ## Features - 6 MATS, 2 OF EACH DESIGN FOR MODELING β€” Pack includes 3 mealtime designs with two copies of each.
