Kari sent me a link to a Autism website. I was thrilled with what I found and think you will too. The article Managing Meltdowns is written for teachers in a classroom situation.

Bedtime…Or Not!
I write this post with the monitor on. Don't mind me, if I have to excuse myself every few minutes to go put my son back in bed. It has now been 65 minutes of "excusing" myself.

Rainbow of Colors
In spirit of St. Patrick's Day, we made rainbows. I found this wonderful activity at Preschool Playbook under the St. Patrick's Day theme. I just changed it up a little. On a piece of construction paper, I drew six arched lines. We talked about the order of colors in a rainbow. I poured Fruit Loop cereal into ...
