@ Toy Stores. I’m not exactly sure what you mean. In my experience what I have suggested in this post has never been the cause of any problems for families.

At the core of all of my therapy work with families we explore the root causes of the child’s autism. In this article I am addressing just one very small part of the families overall treatment plan.

I’d like to know what you mean if you would care to reply.

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place

We have chosen home education for all of our children for this very reason, in order to make an academic program fit each child. Our home dynamics of education in the home has been so helpful for our autistic son. We have a picture of him painting at age 2 still in diapers. Learning for him was a way of life. He grew up observing it in the home all the time. I just want to echo Monique the importance of looking at each of our unique children and tailoring their education to them. We have every known type of learners in our home. My oldest is an auditory learner while my second child is a very visual learning. Still another who needs to move around in order for anything to sink in. Why should it ever amaze us as to the fact that children with autism ALSO vary in what works for them. Yes, they have learning challenges but yes, they are still very ‘typical’ in their need to have things taught to them in the way that they can grasp it. We go to the type of churches that have various preachers come in and out to teach Bible on Sunday morning. There are some preaching styles that I can grasp better than others. When I’m expected to learn something I want it taught ‘my way’…if it’s not I need to take the material home and reteach it to myself in away that I’m going to remember and use the information. Best to all. Enjoy your child. Enjoy his/her unique qualities. Keep yourself healthy and refreshed and take one day at a time!
