Everything you can get your hands on. Read read read. This is how I learned things. For some reason no one in the professional world has time to guide us after the diagnosis. I had to approach them about it and their response was "that would be good". I dont' know if it's their policy to do things that way so the parents don't feel pushed or what. But that's how I found out about OT and Speech for Auditory processing therapy. Definitely ask lots of questions. Truthfully the more you understand the more patient you can be. And the better you will be able to help your child progress. Best wishes!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
