Ming at Agents of Speech teaches physical play routines for autistic children: trampoline jumping, peekaboo, rope skipping, and stop-and-go games. Start one-on-one to make them rewarding and fun, then scale to groups. Build these routines before pushing language.
So social routines are just very physical games in the beginning that include jumping around on trampolines with you creating like a set routine, for instance, skipping rope, playing hula hoops that involve, like, with you around, it can increase the. The magnitude. And you can jump higher. You can do, like, peekaboo. Even I do a lot of peekaboo. You can play some, like, falling game. You know, the dads, like, throw the babies up and down. You can do that if you're strong enough. There are loads of social routines that you can do. And not only that, there's also games such as what's the time is the wolf? We can also do stop and go games, like traffic light games, basically. And you can do it one on one and later on move on to a group level. But you have to remember these social routines, they're not supposed to promote language just yet. If it's not rewarding for them or fun for them, they wouldn't even want to start talking. So it's the same concept.
