Weekly Update January 12, 2024
Strive Center for Autism
Upcoming "Free" Day Off
We have a Professional Development day scheduled for Friday, March 1st – this will mean NO THERAPY in both buildings. We also have an opportunity for a few families to take an extra day off on Thursday, February 29th (the day before) to make a long weekend for you. We are providing Professional Crisis Management (PCM) training for our newest staff members at that time, and it requires two days.
If your family is interested in taking February 29th off to have an extra long weekend, please reach out via our Therapy Schedule Update form using the link below. When you complete the question regarding your reason for absence that day, choose “other” and type in “free day off” or similar.
This day will not count against your attendance in anyway.
We have 5 staff members in Brighton who will attend the training, and 2 in Burton, so we have a total of 7 available spots for families.
Please reach out if you have any questions!
Natural Environment Teaching
Natural Environment Teaching
Natural Environment Teaching (NET) is one of many methods that we use to teach new skills at our centers. NET is a type of teaching where learning occurs more incidentally in an environment the child encounters regularly. Some examples of NET above include climbing together (learning how to share the equipment safely, and interacting with friends), using the microwave to help make lunch, bringing some snow/slush inside to see how it melts! Almost anything can be a learning opportunity!
