I just wanted to let you guys know that Abbie is helping my students. When they see Abbie do her therapies they go and get their things and work with her at the same time. If she is working on sensory things they want to do it as well. One of my students tells me Abbie is her buddy because she is like me. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!
That’s awesome!
Ahh thats brilliant
I like these sorts of videos. It lets us see just how far Abbie has progressed in developing her balance etc. Plus it gives us an idea on what is required not only to do tasks that we take for granted as "simple", but even some idea on activities that help develop those skills.
Changes in lifestyle mean even neurotypical kids who are otherwise developmentally on track are starting to fall behind in fine motor skills - e.g. scissors or holding a pencil isn't as well practised as it was before kids had so much access to technology. I'm not an expert in these things, but it is having an impact on the success of my students in high school (12-18 year olds here in Australia).
As a student studying OT, this makes me SO HAPPY to see!!! I love that Abby is progressing through the OT process!
I feel like I'm watching an OT Olympic event where the announcers talk over the event to explain the moves lol like when watching ice skating, for example. It was kind of cool!
Lol. I should have whispered while she was doing it then yelled, “She stuck the landing!”
@@fatheringautism 😂😂😂 next time
I just don’t get it. Why do people hit the dislike button?!?!?! Asa is doing exactly what the video says it is doing. If you don’t like this family for some reason don’t watch them. Just hitting it to be hitting it is rude!!!
Your right.... I don't think I've ever seen a bad vlog from them!
Hi! Occupational Therapy Assistant here! Occupational therapy does so much more than just strengthening, coordination, and balance! We usually work on these things as a prerequisite to working on ADLs (activities of daily living). What Abbie does during ABA therapy like going out in the community, assisting in chores, bathing, brushing teeth, etc. is also occupational therapy! It’s probably more reasonable and realistic from a behavior standpoint to work on those goals with an ABA therapist at the home than with an OT. I understand that a lot of kids get overwhelmed when having too many therapists and that may be the case with Abbie. Great job, Abbie! You’re doing amazing!
No worries with the voice- over. Don't think too much of pleasing viewers. Your convenience and Abbie's first. We love to see anything with Abbie and how you take care of her - regardless how you present it.
*Hugs to Abbie*
God bless everyone!:)
Abbie is doing SO WONDERFUL with her fine motor skills, etc...She is an amazing girl!!! Such a joy to be able to watch her improvements!!
I loved seeing what Abbie does in her Occupational therapy class she does so well.
I’m a freshman undergrad student headed toward OT! I love watching your videos and learning how I can better serve the community.
That's amazing! Our community is short handed in OT! Here in Houston some places actually have waiting list to get therapy!
Being present for/with ur girl+fam is absolutely, totally No. 1-Never anything other than absolute understanding here! Voice over vids don’t bother me-especially with ur content/vids-always awesomeness!
Hi am Kath! This is the first time i ever leave a comment to any videos I watch here on UA-cam. I am a graduate of Psychology and used to work as a Special Education Teacher here in the Philippines. It’s almost been a month since I’ve seen your channel and I had been watching your videos all day long. I love it so much on how you guys embrace Autism. I had met family’s who are having a hard time copping with their situation but you guys gave your 101% on making sure that Abbi will live a fun, loving and a healthy life. I wish you guys the best and as Priscilla says “I am so Excited!” to see more of your videos.
Yay I woke up from my nap and the vlog was posted at 5:27pm were I live I love abbie she's so strong she's my idol for never giving up I had a operation were I had my right leg amputated I'll never give up just like she'll never give up #faithinabbie #teamabbie
Poor baby has bite marks. I remember when my son was biting. I would cry every time he would bite his self. It just kills me seeing them. But love the video. It makes me so happy that dad is shedding a light on the in’s and outs of autism.
I got to Shadow at an OT place with a kiddo I work with and it was honestly really cool. She has Down Syndrome, but worked on a lot of the same things Abbie did like balance beams, upper body strength, and cutting out shapes. Great video! :)
Unusual social learning happens early in puberty. Autistic children are less aware of social stimuli, are less apt to grin or glance at others, and are less likely to call themselves by their own name. Autistic toddlers veer away from social norms in a variety of ways, including making less physical contact and taking less turns. Thank you so much for your time and effort in putting everything together!
Abbie is doing amazing! I can see a huge difference just since I started watch your videos. Plus, when I go back and watch the older ones that came before I found my Maass family I can really see a difference. Way to go Abbs! I love you.
Abbie is such a rockstar! Go, girl go! I have a dress that's the exact same print as her shirt. She pulls it off much better than I do!
I'm late to this party but I wanted to thank you for showing how Occupational therapy is helping Abbie! I am an occupational therapy assistant and I work in pediatrics as well. Abbie is learning so many skills just in this one video and has grown in leaps and bounds since I've started following her! I follow your family on Facebook and see most of your updates through there but came across this one while searching for some helpful videos to share with my patients caregivers. You families openness and willingness to share your daughters journey has helped so many people going through the same thing. I love sending friends and parents to your channel! Keep up the amazing work and never waver in your love for Abbie's unique gifts!
I appreciate/enjoy these voiceover vids that still show Abbie but give an in depth explanation of the hows & whys of therapy, school, daily life, etc. Applicable to more special needs than just autism so very educational & as always, spreading awareness! Thanks for sharing your lives & really enjoy all your videos & that they're not all the same format. Like a 'box of chocolates'!! LOL One of the few YT channels I'm subscribed to. 150k subscribers soon!
What's funny is, I literally just watched an older OT video and then today's video popped up. I'm working some overtime today which makes it a good time to binge your old videos! I hope you and Priscilla are having a wonderful vacation and that you're getting some rest and relaxation! ❤
Thank you for sharing Abbey with us. This was such a great video!!
I love watching videos like this because it helps me to learn what skills I will need when I start in the occupational program. I’m currently finishing my general education, but next step is occupational program with the end goal of being a pediatric occupational therapist.
I would enjoy seeing more of this type of video. Abbie is making such good progress. I was really impressed with her compliance with direction. And the smile on her face when she successfully completed some of the tasks was so adorable. I was actually thinking as I was watching the balance exercises that I could use some of those of exercises myself. I'll have to try to improvise the bucket walking.
I love seeing her progression in OT and everything else. Way to go abbie!!!!

This is awesome to see. Abbie you worked so hard and had some great successes today! Asa, I am so proud of your girl too! Wow! Loved the smiles and concentration I saw on Abbie as she worked. That school has wonderful positive staff teaching practical transferable skills that benefit Abbie and her classmates so much! Great vlog! Thanks again for sharing with us. 👌😊💖
She's doing a great job! It's amazing watching her improve and try so hard..Such a sweet girl 💖 She brightens my day!
Abbie is a rockstar! She has come so far in the past couple years that I have been watching the vlogs. It is so amazing to see her progress!
She was doing really well. Since I started watching y’all she has really improved. She is a joy to watch.as well as all of your family. I made the meatball recipe that Mrs.P had made. And my family went crazzzzy over it. Love all the Volga’s.
Thanks so much for sharing everything with us out here in You Tube land.
I love these types of videos. It's great to see how much she's improved and helps folks appreciate just how much work it takes. Also, for those of you that have never tried it before, just let me tell you that using those peanut balls like that is a whole lot harder than it looks and Abbie does much better than I do on it.
This is awesome to see Abbie doing so good in OT. I have had some surgeries and had to do therapy and it is amazing how much you have to relearn. Personally I think this is very beneficial for Abbie. She looked like she was having fun to.
Love love this family. Great to see what all Abbie does.
She is doing great.
Thank you for sharing OT with us, it's nice to see what she does in school. 💕
I love to see how enthusiastic Abbie is about her therapy, she doesn’t see it as a chore at all!! She’s a beautiful and intelligent young girl 😘 xxx
It's amazing how those ot activities help her body so much . Wonderful job Abbie 😍😍
I have to say at first I thought OT would be just a pointless exercise for her. But, your video showed me how it helps. Abbie did great!
Oh awesome I love this she definitely has great therapist you guys are literally doing everything you can for her and it's so beautiful, your family is the best💓🌻🌞✌
Wow the clip of her balancing and walking across on those bucket shaped things really made me beam with joy! So much improvement! I know you guys may not always see it because you are physically with her everyday, but the Maass squad sure does! Way to go Abbie!
I love seeing how far she has come she is such a sweet little girl yall keep doing what you are doing
Hi from Manitoba, Canada. This video was amazing, I love seeing the progress Abbie is making. I just applied for my Masters in OT! In my application I even discussed how watching your family daily over the past few years has inspired me to pursue OT. *fingers crossed* I get accepted. 🤞❤
I love Abby’s follow through with the tasks! She’s a hard worker!
Abbie is doing so well. Im so excited for her future!
I love seeing that our girsl are doing similar occupational therapy tasks. Great job Abbie!
Aww I am so happy to see Abby has her bracelet I made her on. I am so glad she likes it and keeps it on. Love you guys.
Love seeing my fellow OT in different parts of the word.
And so proud of Abby for mastering the so manny skills.
I often wondered what OT did for my daughter. She dosen't have it now but, she did when she was younger. They would pull her out of class at school, a few times a week. They also had these wobble chairs at her desk, in her class, that she had to sit on to keep her balance. (They had other little fidget toys too. This little band that she could bounce her feet off of was her favorite. They put it at the bottom of her desk.)
I think it's amazing how everyone has stepped up for abby. What a great family ❤
Way to go Abbie! We are in a waiting list for ot here in Houston. There is a shortage of therapist! Can you imagine?
Awesome video. I love seeing Abbie progressing. It's cool to see her learning in the classroom:)
Way to go Abbie!! I absolutely love these videos Asa seeing her at school and progress
I found this video great loved seeing the OT in action and the voice over really helped . Many thanks would love yo see more like this 💕
Aww this is amazing to see!! Great job Abbie!! 💙💙
I am currently in Graduate school to complete my OT degree! I love being able to see what types of skills the OTs are working on with different activities and how much they have helped her progress to be able to engage in daily functional activities!
Loved this video. I don’t have much interaction with autism so it’s interesting to see what Abbie’s working on. It was cool to see what goes on in therapy. She has amazing people on her team!
Now, this is a Pertinent one, seeing as I used to have to do OT to Help Me with My Severe Balance and Co-Ordination at Primary School, and then I had to OT to help Me keep My Autism issues "under control" after I was transferred to Special School in Secondary/High. I wonder if Abbie has to do any of the Tasks I used to.
Hey Guys.
I cant wait to see how Much Abbie has Improved in OT.
Ahh, Swinging, one of Abbie's favourite Activities! glad to see that She gets to have Fun in OT :)
I know that you don't like doing Voice Over, but, I do think its important to have it for those of your Subscribers who don't know what is going on, I know what is going on as I used to have OT, but I am sure plenty of your other Subscribers would be Bamboozled without your Voice over Explanation.
Its really cool that the JSA allows Parents to watch their Kids at School to see how well they are doing.
My Balance, to this Day, is all but non Existent. I have great Trouble balancing, that is why I like to stand on Wide, Flat Surfaces, and nowhere NEAR any Edges, as that's the only way I feel Safe. I still try to avoid uneven Surfaces at all Costs (not easy in then UK with its Completely Broken Walkway Surfaces because the Councils are too cheapskate to get them Repaired Properly :( ) , as, like Abbie, I am very unsure on where to put My Feet to balance.
I am glad Abbie has fun with the "Peanut" and has a Blast doing OT! if it is Fun for Her, the more willing She will be to do it after all :)
I am glad Abbie's neck Muscles are getting Stronger.
Yes, I had to do throwing Beanbags into Hoops to Help Me with My Co-Ordination when I Did OT in Primary School. So I know that task :)
No Cheating Abbie!
I am glad Abbie keeps going at things! its great to see that She is Determined :)
I am afraid I was, due to My Extremely Poor Confidence and non Existent self Image, something of a Quitter, as soon as a Task went wrong, I didn't want to do it anymore, and had to be forced to try again :(
For that Standing on the Pots Task, even NOW I would need to have to Hold on to the Wall and to the Therapist, as I would never be able to Balance on those.
Yes, I had to do Arm Exercises as well in OT.
I used to have to do the Putty Squeezing as well in Primary , to Help Me with my Really bad Grip, but they stopped when they found out My Fingers are Double Jointed and they can bend RIGHT back, meaning My Grip cannot really be Improved much :(.
Yup, I had to the Peg Board too back in Primary OT.
I still find using Scissors accurately extremely Difficult to nigh on Impossible even now!
Indeed, Abbie is doing Incredibly in Occupation Therapy! She is doing Superbly!
Bye for Now, take Care.
I like these types of activities which are very important during her sessions where it focuses on more than one aspect. Love it.
Great video about OT! Great job Abbie keep up the awesome job 😬👍🏻
I’m about to start OT soon for coordination and stuff (I have slight Chiari Malformation) and I’m so excited! I can barely button my own clothing so I’m so pumped to be able to learn how to do that kind of stuff
This OT is awesome! A lot of OT’s in these settings are just coming in as contractors, doing their cases and getting paid. But she seems really invested in Abbie’s success and building a rapport with her and giving lots of positive reinforcement!
Wow!! What an AMAZING school!! So glad y'all fought the good fight and were able to get her in there!! JSA seems like a really good fit for her!!👍❤
I have mild autism and I love your videos and Abbie is awesome 😎
That was impressive how she turned the paper with her left hand while she was cutting out the square. Also great job with the peg board, Abbie!
My youngest just started OT its rough. but I cant wait to see him grow and learn.
Love this video!! Thanks as always for sharing!!
I’m an OT so I love love love this content! Very nice clinic, great session.
Hi. I'm going to college to become an OT (finishing my general education at the moment.) What are some tips that I could use for my future goal? I'm planning to be a pediatric OT.
thank you so much for this i love watching videos like this since i will be an ot student in the fall!!
I am planning to go to college for OT. This video is really cool to watch!
she is doing so well..its very noticeable. I found my self clapping today for her when she was doing so well.
Great job Abbie so proud of you.
Lovely video, very good asa it was like a profesional televised documentry! Thoroughly enjoyed watching as always
Way to go Abbie, heck Abbie cuts a straight line better than I do.
Wow! She’s come so far since some of your earlier videos! Great job, Abbie!
She’s doing amazing! Great job Ab!!!!!
Great to see Abbie, keep it up. You're kicking butt!
Wow Abby your doing a wonderful job😊! Have a wonderful week!
I love that I get ideas to work with people on the spectrum as well! Thank you Assa!!
I really liked the voice over style!! Would love to see more of these type of videos
Love these types of videos. Awesome
Awesome Video, great job Abbie.
Thank you for the video, this is so informative! I study psychology so I love videos about Abbie's therapy. :)
Im glad you put your bloopers in.
The best part about OT for me was that it didn't seem like therapy, it seemed more like getting to stay in a playground for an hour or two. Being only a few minutes into the video right now, I know it's working well for Abbie too.
Ikr I loved it so much
Literally so proud of Abby, despite her being a total stranger.
Awesome stuff!!! 😊 I have ro get into occupational therapy myself at some point, as I'm on this disability program, to help with my independent living skills:)
I'm an adult on the spectrum, they recommended O.T for me, but we just haven't got around to it yet ❤💙💜
I did both oc therapy and pt now i do yoga ive done it all of my life it dose help
I’m ot assistant and worked in nursing homes 20 yrs and ready try peds ... thanks for the video
Not going to lie. I want one of those peanut thingies!
Nelphoto Thought I was the only one lol
I've used one in OT and they're the best thing I've ever experienced
Nelphoto the peanut shaped exercise ball? I love these.
Great video. Thank you
