as per @Sunday Stilwell: This is my #1 favorite book about autism. It is the first book I recommend to anyone who wants to know more about it. It changed everything I thought I knew about autism.

From blogger: Here’s a quickly put together collection of various sensory tools we’ve bought over the past year. There’s a compression vest (to squeeze around my son’s torso), a weighted vest (to give him a greater gravitational pull towards the ground), leg weights (to give him input and keep him from repetitively running up and down the length of our house), various twisty implements, and of course, an array of chewies, one of which vibrates (oral input). At this point, my son is just down to his trusty cord. But they do use some of these in school to encourage him to sit in order to learn.

If only it wasn't necessary for a child to own a shirt like this. #Autism Awareness would help.

Paula Drew I have this for my non-verbal daughter with CP.
debi9kids (who says 8 is enough) It's fantastic, isn't it?
Paula Drew Sure is! Maddy has had her iPad since September and she thinks of it as a toy and loves to play her Fresh Beat Band videos on it. She has only recently realized she can use it to say something. Her teacher at school last year has really tried to implement it in everyday classroom activities.
Madeline Mcewen-Asker We are going great guns with the ipad too.

Paula Drew Do you have this? I'm always on the lookout for appropriate seating for my daughter with CP. She cannot hold herself up unassisted. I'm wondering if this would provide enough support???
debi9kids (who says 8 is enough) @Paula Drew I do! He absolutely LOVES it. My son has mild CP and very severe Autism and he's been using the chair for about 3 1/2 years. While it doesn't offer a lot of support, it does offer some great sensory input/output.
Paula Drew Thanks for the advice, Debi! Do you have it inside? Do you have any pictures of your son in it so I can judge whether it will work for my Maddy? If you do, you can either email to me at: mom2maddy2000@yahoo.com or if you are on Facebook, my username is Paula Moser Drew!
