FAQ
Is this therapy?
No. This is parent education and daily support. It does not replace your child’s care team.
What if I pick the wrong state?
That is okay. Pick the closest match. If it does not help, try another support.
What is the difference between frustrated and overloaded?
Frustrated usually means your child may still be reachable with help, choice, or a smaller task. Overloaded means the body may be past reasoning and needs safety, fewer words, and less input first.
Should I teach during a meltdown?
Usually, no. Focus on safety, fewer words, less input, and calming the body first.
What if my child is unsafe?
Move toward safety first. Follow your family safety plan. Get emergency or crisis help if needed.
