Training Wheels - Bike Riding

Does anyone have some good advise on training wheels for bikes? I'm looking for a good set of adaptive training wheels. I haven't even started looking online yet. My daughter has busted through 3 pairs now and bike riding will quickly be a think of the past if I do not do something. I was thinking something more than the traditional training wheel that could help with mastering some of the skills. I thought I would ask all of you "the pro's" first.See More

First Course graduate Sean Morse earned a perfect-attendance award from the Keene culinary program. (COURTESY)

KEENE – Diagnosed with autism at 3, Sean Morse was going to have a cubicle job, spend his days entering data and live with his parents forever and ever. It was what it was, said his mother, Danielle Morse.

But at 21, Sean Morse had different ideas: He was going to continue with school, live away from home, get a job and be married by… Continue

Ten Commandments for Parents of Handicapped Children

I found this article and thought it was very Inspirational for a Happy New Year.

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR PARENTS OF HANDICAPPED CHILDREN

1. Take one day at a time, and take that day positively. You don't have control over the future, over today, or over any other day, and neither does anyone else. Other people just think they do.

2. Never underestimate your child's… Continue

Autism Speaks. It’s a Living.

Posted on December 14, 2009 at 10:25am 0 Comments 0 Favorites

Autism Speaks recently announced on their website that due to the poor economy they have to “postpone” grant making and giving for 2009. Yes, this charity that hauled in a reported $68 million in funds last year has fallen on hard times. Sad, really, on the surface. But dig deeper. I ask you to consider the following information, taken straight from this organization’s IRS 990 form on their own website:

That was many years of Star Trek: The Next Generation talking! haha! Yup... I'm a geek. But I am proud of it! :)

At 8:02am on July 20, 2010, Bridget Layland said…: I'm doing well! The kids are both huge and getting better every day:) Max is almost typical. It's amazing. Zoe still struggles but she is getting there. I've been doing ABA off and on for the last few years. I'm trying to get more education right now in "Floortime" therapy. I've seen people use it and get results. I want to congratulate you on your new job at Gateways! Happy to see that in my newsletter. Hope everything else is good with you. Let me know if you want to get together sometime:)

At 7:41am on March 1, 2011, Melanie Butler said…: Aiden lost his tooth at school, so I only have his play by play. It sounded very typical of him. He was eating an apple and didn't even notice his tooth fall out until the other kids were screaming that there was blood all over his apple. He said"the teacher sent me to the nurse and I missed the rest of snack, but i was glad snack was over because I didn't want to eat that bloody apple." He is too funny!

He was really afraid to go to sleep that night, though. He did not want the tooth fairy in his room.
