The Power of Grounding and Shielding for Children on the Autism Spectrum

In this episode, we explore the concept of 'bubbles' around children on the autism spectrum and how grounding and shielding techniques can help them feel more secure and connected to the world. We discuss various types of bubbles—impenetrable, damaged, and overly permeable—and how methods like color shielding and heart-to-heart cords can aid children like Kyler in improving interaction and emotional regulation.

Learn practical steps to implement grounding and shielding daily to foster a safer, more engaging environment for children on the spectrum, as well as for neurotypical individuals.
