201. Breaking Barriers; Why Low Expectations Hold Our Kids Back
Oct 17, 2024In this episode of Not Your Average Autism Mom, host Shannon Urquiola challenges the common phrase, “They can’t,” and explores how low expectations can hold autistic children—both boys and girls—back more than their diagnosis ever will.
Shannon unpacks the myths surrounding autism and intelligence, sharing real-life examples of individuals who’ve shattered labels and exceeded expectations.
You’ll learn practical strategies for supporting your child’s development, including the power of reframing “They can’t” into “They don’t... yet,” using visual supports, individualized instruction, and incorporating sensory breaks. Shannon highlights the critical role that mindset and high expectations play in helping your child, no matter their gender, reach their full potential.
Join Shannon for an inspiring conversation about raising the bar for your child and believing in their abilities, no matter what others might say. Whether you have
a son or daughter on the spectrum, this episode will remind you to stop saying “They can’t” and start believing in “They will.”
Tune in for encouragement, insights, and actionable advice to help you keep going, stay strong, and never give up. You’ve got this!
