“Every parent of an autistic child remembers the moment a daycare said ‘We can’t help you.’”

 Just received our umbrella kit?
That wasn’t just a gift.

 

It’s a message:

You don’t have to get caught in the autism storm.

Let’s get your staff Autism R.E.A.D.Y.

 “Don’t Wait to Get READY”

The Storm Hit Our Family in 2003.

It’s Still Hitting Others in 2025.
And the question remains:
 

Will your daycare facility be a shelter—

or part of the storm?

See How We Get Your Staff R.E.A.D.Y

Inclusion isn’t a trending topic. It’s a lifeline.
And families like mine are still being told:
 

“We can’t meet your child’s needs.”

The Pain Parents Remember Forever

In 2003, my daughter Kendall was asked to leave her daycare.
Not because she was unsafe.
Not because we didn’t care.
But because no one in that center knew how to support an autistic child.

Her last week was decided for us.
They invited her brother to stay.
They told me Kendall needed more than they could offer.

It broke me.
And it's still breaking parents today.

 

It’s 2025-Let’s Not Be That Daycare Anymore

 

I’m Tanyika Butler—mom of Kendall, founder of

Kendall Autism Support & Consulting, and creator of the

R.E.A.D.Y. Framework.

I didn’t turn that pain into a post.
I turned it into a program.

What the READY Framework Will Do for Your Staff & Your Center

This isn’t just training.
It’s transformation.

The READY Framework helps you:

 

Recognize autism beyond behaviors
 
Establish predictable routines & sensory-safe spaces
 
Adapt communication for all children
 
Develop regulation strategies over punishment
 
Your mindset shifts from tolerance to understanding

 

This is how you get ready—before another family walks through your doors and hears, “We can’t help your child.”

 

Be the Daycare Families Remember—for the Right Reasons

 

💬 "We finally found a place where our child is understood."
💬 "They didn’t flinch when I said ‘my child is autistic’—they nodded and said ‘we’re READY.’"

Imagine your staff saying:
“We’ve got you.”
Not “We’re not equipped.”

Review the Autism Readiness Checklist

 ✅ Autism Readiness Checklist

 

Can your daycare/ confidently say, “We’re READY”?
This quick, 60-second checklist helps directors assess if their staff, space, and systems are truly prepared to support autistic children—before the next family walks through the door.

 


Staff Knowledge & Confidence

  • ✅ Does your staff understand the difference between a tantrum and a sensory meltdown?

  • ✅ Are your teachers trained to support nonverbal or limited-speech children?

  • ✅ Can your team recognize early signs of sensory overload before a meltdown starts?


Classroom Environment

  • ✅ Do you have a sensory-friendly plan for room layout and materials?

  • ✅ Are there quiet spaces or calm-down zones available in every classroom?

  • ✅ Is visual communication used to support understanding and reduce anxiety?


Transitions & Daily Routines

  • ✅ Does staff use consistent and predictable routines to ease transitions between activities?

  • ✅ Are strategies like visual schedules or countdown warnings part of your daily practice?


Behavior Response & Inclusion

  • ✅ Does your team have a proactive plan for handling dysregulation without exclusion?

  • ✅ Are children with support needs welcomed—not just tolerated?
