Kenson Kids Co-Founder Contributes Article to Parenting Blog During National Autism Awareness Month

Jennifer Edmundson, a psychiatric nurse and co-founder of Kenson Kids, has published an article to the Maryland-based parenting blog, The Playful Parent. The article, “Reward Charts can Improve Daily Life for Autistic Children and Their Parents,” discusses the use of reward systems for managing behavior and teaching new skills, two areas that may be especially challenging for parents of an autistic child.

 “Autistic children often resist trying new things,” says Edmundson. “Parenting and teaching aids that establish and reinforce routines, using visual and tactile stimuli, can be very effective.”

 Kenson Kids has partnered with The Autism Society of America to help families living with autism by raising both money and awareness. Through the month of April, Kenson Kids will donate 10% of all website sales to the Autism Society of America.
