Where Families with Special Needs Members Care and Share Together.
Terry Mauro over on About.com – Parenting Special Needs does an excellent job of keeping her finger on the pulse of our world. She has put together three review articles exploring what was important, or at least talked about, last year and I think it’s definitely worth some time to explore.
Here are the links for you:
Top Ten Most Popular Parenting Special Needs Articles of 2009
What were the topics and issues that affected you and your Special Needs Family the most last year?
I received an email from Caroline Gaibel of Parenting a Special Needs Child asking me to let you know about her video blog. I poked around it and I think you will find it very interesting.
There is an interesting video with Professor Feuerstein, a cognitive psychologist who has worked with children who have FAS, autism and other forms of brain damage and had some excellent results.
Matthew has been taking a dance PE class at his high school so I was particularly interested in the video about Dance and Movement.
Check it out and let me know what you think!
I received this from Candyce and wanted to pass it along!
Hello,
I hope everybody had an excellent holiday! We sure did, but along with that we have been very busy. I just finished up two courses at Hancock and am anxious to get going again. I have been a bit lax with our get togethers because I have been busy and I assume all of you are too.. So, our next support group meeting is scheduled for the second Saturday in January because that is the most convenient for me.The day is January 9th, Sat. 3:00 at Starbuck’s at McCoy and Broadway. I have tentatively picked a date for the fair and am anxious to get going on this as well. Last year was a huge hit and again this year, we will have Crystal and Rec. and Parks helping us. If anybody would like to commit to a committee position, I would be thrilled to get your help and participation.
I hope to see you all at Starbuck’s and if you know of somebody that would like to come, they are also welcome. If you would like to help with the Autism Awareness and Resource Fair but can’t attend the next meeting, please call me and we will find a position for you.
Happy New Year,
