- I was thinking about this yesterday. The last two times Harrison has had to go in to the doctor's office, it involved stripping him to his diaper (4-year checkup and when he had strep a little over a week ago). Both times, he absolutely flipped...
- I posted this in another group here at DS. It pretty much sums up most of my emotions about my son, and I think I've adopted it as my new anthem. Please give it a look, and tell me what you think.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppQ0QjmuEt8
- My son is not yet potty trained. I know he is only four and these kids don't potty train until later in many cases. But what my question is: At what age did your child potty train?
- How many people have tried brushing. My son's sensory needs have drastically changed since we welcomed his little brother into the world two weeks. His OT is dealing with his sensory issues much harder now. One of the things is brushing. I tried...
- After my son's IEP meeting, hehad to put away the paint set he was playing with. Of course, the transition didn't go well, and he started crying. When he does this, I hug him and tell him that I understand why he's so upset amd that it's okay to...
- We just had our IEP meeting, and it did go pretty well, with one exception. I didn't sign it yet, but on one of the last pages, it said my son didn't qualify for extended school year. His teacher said that that could change, but the reason she put...
- Harrison has been doing something different lately. When eating, he will take a bite of something, chew it a few times, and then stick his fingers in his mouth, sometimes pulling the food back out (he would eventually eat it). If I catch him doing...
- Ever since my "bad day" where I was taking out my fatigue-induced frustrations on Harrison, I made a vow never to do it again. Now, I try to do something special with him every day. Even if it's only 20-30 minutes, I still do it. I want to create...
- I have two questions for all who are able to respond. First, Harrison is not very gentle with Isaac. I am trying to reinforce to him that Isaac is a baby and that he needs to be gentle. Harrison likes to go up to him and say his name very loudly in...
- After being on the waiting list for 14 months, Harrison finally got the ill and handicapped waiver. This gets him many services and also gets him Title 19. Now, I can do so much more for him. The money I will be saving (for things that title 19...
- Isaac Alexander Jordan came into this world t 7:51PM today. He weighed 8 pounds 11 ounces and was 21 inches long. It was an incredible experience. Being our second child, I thought I would be ready and was I ever wrong!! First, she didn't do a...
- I know many of you probably have seen these, but it is much worht rementioning. If you get a view minutes, watch these. They do have deep meaning that I think we all can relate...
- I'm sure many of you have been to the website www.whatkindofworlddoyouant.com. John Ondrasik from the band Five for Fighting has done alot for this. Many of the videos on this website have to do with autism. Just the title of the website really...
- Harrison hs been to Hippo therapy (horse therapy) a few times now, and he loves it. He is giving the horse commands to "walk on" and "trot". His balance is improving, and they already moved him to a bigger, faster horse.Harrison has also been...
- I made this post a few months ago, but I can't find it. I asked about the heavily endorsed "Teach 2 Talk" video modeling series, but a few of you said you didn't have a good experience with it and suggested other video modeling series. If anybody...
