INFORMATION ABOUT SPECIAL EVENTS GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHETHER DYNAMIC THERAPY IS PARTICIPATING OR NOT.
An interesting lecture series is starting soon at UTD about infant development. Here's a link:
Baby Lectures to Focus on Language and Learning
This is a great, free opportunity to learn from some of our community's experts about our babies' language development. We hope to see you there!
Welcome to another first for us this year...the first installment of Special News for Special Kids - current events and news for parents and their special kids to share.
The kids we work with have the same interests as their peers, but sometimes have trouble keeping up with the usual overwhelming way that current events are presented. We want to do better.

HANDWRITING...WHAT IF TUTORING IS NOT WORKING?
I was recently at a friend's house for a get-together. As usual all the Dads were crowded around the table talking about the Cowboys' chances of making it through one more playoff game (sorry to bring up that painful topic), and the moms were hanging around the playroom while the kids climbed all over each other. Finally a friend-of-a-friend approached me and told me about her first-grader who has been assigned a tutor by her school to work on his handwriting. Apparently the tutoring sessions have not been working well to improve his handwriting, and has actually led to some behavioral meltdowns that were previously not characteristic for this child. "Do I need something more than a tutor?" she asked me. Tough question, especially for a casual Saturday afternoon. But a very important question for sure. How do you know if a tutor is enough?
