Changing the World: One Foot In Front Of The Other
http://changelivesnow.blogspot.com/2008/07/one-foot-in-front-of-other.html
Experiences chronicled by a therapist for children on the autism spectrum. Wednesday, July 2, 2008. One Foot In Front Of The Other. How happy she had been just to walk independently to the building in strong rain to use the restroom? If Miri was able to do one foot in front of the other, can't the rest of us? Shouldn't we also be so appreciative of simple things like being able to use the bathroom on our own? Firstly it is so nice to see you blogging again. I missed you. July 4, 2008 at 1:21 PM.

Changing the World: Last Session
http://changelivesnow.blogspot.com/2008/03/last-session.html
Experiences chronicled by a therapist for children on the autism spectrum. Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Sorry this has dragged on forever, but I'm finally finding the time to post the end of Ben's story so that I can move on to others. Thank you all for your patience! Gift in tow, I arrived to the house. I didn't let it hit me that this was my last session with Ben because OF COURSE I'd keep in touch, and all that. I can't find him! Beeeen, where are you? I am getting sad! I want to play with my Benny!

Changing the World: August 2007

Experiences chronicled by a therapist for children on the autism spectrum. Wednesday, August 15, 2007. To Tell the Truth? Yes, we were finally getting somewhere indeed. I froze for a moment, then tried to think of what to say next. Sally, what happened? You know, I really feel like I'm the dark here.". Sally stammered, looked at the floor for a moment, and then looked up at me, but our eyes never met. She stumbled on her words before she said, "well, something happened, and AJ told his teacher.". My othe...

Changing the World: February 2009
http://changelivesnow.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Experiences chronicled by a therapist for children on the autism spectrum. Thursday, February 26, 2009. The Most Joyful Sound in the World. Her name is Tova. And when she laughs, it’s the most joyful sound I’ve ever heard. Tova is in her fifties, and she has Down syndrome. The first day I began working in her day program, she caught my eye. With over one hundred clients in the program, she stood out. That may be, I think, because Tova speaks with her eyes, and her eyes communicate sadness. Today, Tova ca...

Changing the World: May 2007
http://changelivesnow.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Experiences chronicled by a therapist for children on the autism spectrum. Monday, May 28, 2007. Where is the Programmer? Whatever, guess that’s just my stubborn self talking . . . Annoying programmer issues aside, Ben’s programmer – get this – failed to show. Let me also add here, that there. Many programmers I work well with. I simply have one request: I just ask that you do your job. Many of them do, but Ben’s programmer was already on my bad list because, well, she didn’t. For the remainder of the we...

Changing the World: Big, Beautiful, Blue Eyes
http://changelivesnow.blogspot.com/2009/02/big-beautiful-blue-eyes.html
Experiences chronicled by a therapist for children on the autism spectrum. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Big, Beautiful, Blue Eyes. I entered her home slightly nervous. I hoped it would be a good experience, and mostly, a fulfilling one – as my new job description just wasn’t doing it for me. I walked in the door, and her mother greeted me so pleasantly. The house wasn’t very put together; you could tell her mother’s hands were full. On my way out, I figured I’d try my luck. “Bye-bye,R...The other mem...

Experiences chronicled by a therapist for children on the autism spectrum. Thursday, July 31, 2008. 8220;Take Beth with me? Do they allow that? Tzipporah had been working for the organization for years and became very close to Beth, a consumer in her late thirties with Down syndrome. The thought of bringing her away for shabbos with me both excited me yet made me nervous at the same time. 8220;I would have no problem with that,” Beth’s resident manager had said the next day. 8221; She replied. Thursday n...
