Greeting Everyone ~

Another school year is upon us. I now have two sons in High School. Both are going through growth spurts and eating healthier meals and snacks. ABA is continuing for Matthew. In December it will be one year and we are working on self help skills - tooth brushing and toilet training.

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