Autism in the early learning and care environment
|
|
|
|
This month we took the opportunity to learn more about ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders) and to see how early learning and care providers can support autistic children and work collaboratively with their families to support the development and wellbeing of autistic children.
We spoke to Kristy Capes, Centre Manager at La Trobe University Community Children's Centre, an early learning service which offers specialised support to children with autism spectrum disorders, and she was kind enough to share her expertise and autism insights with us.

A piece of fruit is a beautiful thing. And because it's packed with flavour, nutrients and fibre, fruit is also an important food group that helps kids stay healthy, grow and develop.

So whether you serve it sliced, diced, peeled, pureed, stewed, baked, dried or frozen, here are 10 ways to make fruit a-peel-ing to children.
