Welcome to The Crap and the Crazy - A Bit About Us

Tash Kritter owns Little Wooden Toybox and is mother of two teens; both with Autism, ADHD and PDA.
10 years in early intervention working with the kids’ OTs, Speechies and psychologists has given Tash unique insight into understanding difficult behaviours and why they occur, as well as understanding how emotional regulation and sensory input impacts us and our behaviour.

This insight has helped Tash to design and implement resources & coping strategies to make home life calmer and more organised.

Join Tash as she talks about day-to-day life with Autism; the sucky bits and the wins, plus tips for enjoying life despite the challenges.

Organisation, Planning & Routines

Routines require a lot of:
✅ executive functioning skills
✅ time management
✅ working memory
✅ fine motor skills
✅ gross motor skills
✅ motor planning
✅ understanding context
✅ problem solving
Visual schedules to take away the pressure and stress of having to remember what to do and in what order, especially when there so many skills required to complete each task!

Today I talk through how this looks for your kids, your family and for you, and the importance of staying organised, knowing what's coming up next, knowing what to expect each day and how this helps you and your family to enjoy a calmer and more organised life.
