About Me

Hi everyone! Bear with me as I am just getting this site up and running; it'll probably be a little scattered for a while. Wait, what am I thinking? I'm the parent of a child on the spectrum! Yeah, let me get on that just as soon as I finish our ABA program, drop Devin off to the speech therapist, fight the school district because our IEP is ridiculous, and then pick up Dev just in time to go see our DAN Dr. Ok then.Kidding! sort of. That for sure is our life, but it's great...it's been over two years since Devin was diagnosed (at 22 mos) and the waters have finally calmed down. Dev has actually lost his autism diagnosis and I have kept my sanity. Win-Win!I'm starting up this site to help other parents out their navigate their child's recovery process. And please understand Autism is recoverable. It is NOT the death sentence you are typically told. There are strategies, many, many, many :) strategies that when employed effectively work. As a Mother, an ABA Consultant and a staunch believer in biomedical interventions, I have seen it happen to Devin and dozens others. Here's how.Any questions please feel free to message me. I have tons of educational information regarding behavior plans and lots of biomedical information scanned to pdf. And I'm free! Who's heard those words since diagnosis?

I'd like to meet:

HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD

by Edna Massimilla

A meeting was held quite far from Earth!
It's time again for another birth.
Said the Angels to the LORD above,
This Special Child will need much love.

His progress may be very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show.
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets down there.

He may not run or laugh or play,
His thoughts may seem quite far away,
In many ways he won't adapt,
And he'll be known as handicapped.

So let's be careful where he's sent,
We want his life to be content.
Please LORD, find the parents who
Will do a special job for you.

They will not realize right away
The leading role they're asked to play,
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.

And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for their gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild,
Is HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD.
