Building Everyday Acceptance At A Birthday Party

Do’s

  • Do understand the inclusion means making room - not making someone change.

  • Do model acceptance for other children at the party. If asked, answer “she enjoys playing this way”.

  • Do respect her play and go about as you would normally at any birthday party.

Don’ts

  • Don’t try to force group participation.

  • Don’t label or think of the behavior as weird

  • Don’t assume she’s unhappy. Many children on the spectrum experience joy through repetition, order and predictability
