Hi there!


It's been a little while since i've updated. Let's see... work has been draining the life out of me. I have a yucky cold... oh, and I just recently had a birthday! Yay Me. I'm 28 :)

So we've been working on Best Practices for children with autism spectrum disorders. That's been very exciting. I'm really happy to be a part of this decision making process. I presented what we've done thus far at a teacher meeting a few weeks ago. I got a lot of nice feedback.

Do you know that 1 in 150 children under the age of 8 in the USA have a diagnosis of autism? And that in New Jersey that number is 1 in 94?
