 * Julia and Elmo’s Video Playdate

Autistic children have different ways of communicating with and relating to
others, which means special challenges in this new age of video communication.
If your child has a difficult time with video calls, you can try different
strategies to regain or redirect their attention. Watch Julia and Elmo’s video
play date together and notice how Elmo redirected Julia’s attention, then try
some of these suggestions next time your child has a video call.

 * Consider the environment. Try designating one quiet space to keep things
   consistent and minimize distractions.
 * Keep the sessions short at first.
 * Use masking tape or move furniture to indicate the area in which children
   need to stand in order to be seen on screen.
 * Try headphones to reduce outside noise and keep children focused.
 * Offer your child a comfort toy or stuffed animal, like Julia had. (Looking at
   another person’s face on screen for a long time can be challenging… for
   grown-ups too!)
 * Provide activities such as crayons and paper or blocks for children to engage
   with as they visit. They can show the other person what they’ve made. The
   other person may do the same activity.
 * Suggest that your child sing a song with the other person.
 * To encourage children to stay on screen, try taping a picture of a treat
   (such as a picture of a favorite cracker) toward the top of the screen, and
   let them know they will get that treat when they’re finished.
 * Use a timer to indicate how long you’d like your child to stay on the call.
 * Use a strip of paper decorated with stars and your child’s name to decorate
   the top (or all four edges) of the screen to remind your child that they are
   now a “screen star”; this will let them know that it’s their special time to
   video chat (take it off when it’s not!).
 * When you know the specific strategies that can make your child’s video visit
   more successful, share the tips with those who are visiting so they can use
   them, too.
