Using MultiTouch Therapy to Reach Children with Austim (from WSJ.com)

This is an interesting video about the use of multitouch therapy with children with Autism. Pretty cool that the Wall Street Journal is taking notice of this learning tool.

Thanks for sharing the video, Jeremy!

Thanks to Jenn (member of one of my facebook groups) for sharing this link to the games!

embracing a child's talent of drawing

I just had to share this website. This student attends the school where I work. Although I have not worked with him directly, nor have many of the staff at our school come to think of it. Yet, he has touched all of your lives. He brings a smile to my face each time he looks at me, smiles and says "Hi #98!".

I am touched that his parents are embracing his talent and cultivating it! And not only is he a wonderful artist, he also is an amazing author. Maybe something for the future?? ☺

Please take a minute, check out his site, and consider supporting his fundraising for ASD.
