With summer approaching, I’m making my poolside reading list for professional development. Having an understanding of how our kids’ minds work is so important. Today I’m sharing 5 books on my special needs parenting book list that help me understand my kids better.
I still remember the first day we gave him a medication, it was a low dose, but the Doctor said we would see it work right away, it didn’t need time to build a tolerance. That first day he cleaned the room he shared with his brother by himself with no additional reminders. He was actually focused and stayed on task until the end of the project!
Then I noticed the calendar: it was June. He would be 3 in August. Maybe it wasn’t OK that he couldn’t use a spoon effectively and we were still spoon-feeding him his applesauce and yogurt. Thus began a search for answers which ended with an Autism diagnosis.
