At Awake Labs we are developing a tool to empower autistic individuals and their caregivers to better understand anxiety with the goal of preventing behaviour meltdowns. This tool is called Reveal. It’s a wearable device (it looks a bit like a fitbit) and app that measures and tracks anxiety in real time. I’m new to the team and the first couple of months have been eye opening. So far, these have been my main takeaways.

Hope everyone is having a great summer. I bet your thoughts have turned more than once to the students affected with autism in your sphere of influence. As a mom of Heidi, a young lady on the spectrum, I can tell you, summer is a difficult season with lots of open doors and windows, time on our hands and restless kids. UGH!

Our Global Providers’ Conference is our biggest and most exciting event every year! Join practitioners of Social Thinking from around the world to share ideas, network, and learn new strategies. As the “Social Thinking movement” grows, this annual conference has been essential for sharing best practices and creative strategies that attendees then implement in their communities across the globe. Please note that our Providers’ Conference isn’t for those just beginning to use Social Thinking. It is intended for those who are well versed in the methodology, have been using it in their school, clinic, home, or community, and would like to expand their skill set and be inspired by new ideas.
The theme this year is Perspectives, with a special focus on Applying the Social Thinking Methodology School-Wide. On Friday and Sunday, a variety of speakers will present on a wide array of topics, and Saturday will offer a full day of keynotes from thought leaders in the field. You won’t want to miss it!

Students on the autism spectrum and those with behavioral challenges often present with difficulty regulating their feelings and interacting socially. This workshop describes how to handle meltdowns and design effective behavior plans to prevent these moments and reduce frustration and anxiety. The second part of the presentation details strategies to motivate students to learn, ways to teach social skills, how to generalize skills into the natural setting and increase acceptance and tolerance from peers. Information will be imparted though lecture, interactive exercises, and video clips. Come and learn practical strategies for your practice, classroom or home that will empower your patient, student or child to succeed.
