A comprehensive new blog about all things autism...from a practitioner's point of view.
Welcome!
Does the world need one more autism blog? I think so. There is so much to be considered, so many points of view,and ways to think about the best ways to educate and live with children on the autism spectrum. In this blog, I plan to add my thoughts, writing, and musings. I welcome comments and thoughtful discussion. Although I am not a parent of a child on the spectrum, I have over 30 years' experience in the field from several perspectives. I still have the same energy for the education of children on the spectrum as I did in 1974 (I think!). Hope to hear your thoughts.

Interventions
Today as I worked one-to-one with individual kids, reviewed their ed plans, thought about revising my goals and methods, talked to some kids at lunch and listened to their unique sentence structure and word choice, challenges with "because" and "first" and "what happened?", the thought occurred to me that this is hard work...small increments of progress, small smiles of joy, small jokes told with words or the eyes, silliness and really excellent drawing, all of these occurred today. And I realized once again how privileged I am to be able to do this work.
