JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - April is National Autism Awareness Month, and a Mississippi non-profit is reminding parents that solutions are available for children with autism.
Despite the many changes in routine and challenges stemming from the pandemic, Canopy Children’s Solutions says it doesn’t have to stifle your child’s development.
The organization suggests parents use the acronym PRIDE. It’s the acronym for praising your child, repeating what a child says so they know they’ve been heard, imitating play, describing what they’re doing in different ways to show them new speech sounds, and then being enthusiastic.
