Greetings Everyone ~

Hope all who celebrate Halloween with their kids/students have a fun time tomorrow and this weekend. I learned from aide that tomorrow is a free day from wearing uniform. Since Matt stims on the string of his pants, I will have him wear blue navy pants like usual and change his shirt from the white polo one.

I am hoping to have a yard sale on Saturday. Weather here in Los Angeles is finally looking like fall and rain is in the forecast for Sunday.

Here's the latest article from the Autism Spectrum Disorders site at BellaOnline.com.
