Our Blog - A fresh Take

This is a blog about the art of helping the children in our lives realize their potential and use their gifts, especially those children who may not move as well, the “crasher banger” kids, the shy types, and those picked last for ball games. It’s about seeing beyond the surface to discover who our children are and helping them shine. We’ll discuss how children grow and learn, how they move and use their senses, and why they do things like spin in circles until they fall down. Mostly it’s about all of us taking a step back and seeing each other for who we really are. That’s a tall order. We’re complex creatures. Let’s begin.

Insights on Autism

The internet is a magical place. It can help people connect across time and space, and help us all understand each other.

The following is a link to a video clip done by a young man with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this and other clips he has posted, he tries to let everyone else know what it's like to have ASD and what he feels can and should be done about it.

This is valuable insight not only for those of us who know people with ASD, but for all of us to make society a more inclusive and welcoming place for everyone.
