Free Guide: The First 30 Days After an Autism Diagnosis in BC

This 5-page digital guide is designed for parents, teachers, caregivers, and other helping professionals who want to support regulation, independence, and problem-solving without relying on directive or demand-heavy language.

Declarative language focuses on sharing observations and information rather than giving commands or asking questions that require immediate responses. This approach helps reduce pressure, supports emotional regulation, and creates meaningful opportunities for skill-building during everyday interactions and play.

Inside this guide, you’ll find:

• A clear explanation of what declarative language is and why it matters

• Easy-to-understand comparisons between imperative and declarative language, including subtle “hidden demands” often used during play

• Practical examples and go-to phrases you can start using right away

• Guidance on how declarative language supports regulation, executive functioning, communication, and problem-solving

• Step-by-step support on how to “add information” when a child is stuck, without taking over or increasing demands

This guide is grounded in a regulation-first approach and is intended to support collaboration, autonomy, and connection. It is suitable for use at home, in classrooms, or within therapeutic and consultative settings.
