Discussing a child's special needs with teachers before the school year starts - do you or don't you? Please visit our Facebook page's Discussions tab to weigh in and help a real-life Mom decide!
Here's a preview:
One of "my Moms" (a Mom of a kiddo I work with) and I have been discussing her apprehensions about her son starting Kindergarten in a few short weeks. She is excited and proud to have gotten to this point, but is also fearful and anxious about how to communicate about his special needs to his teachers. For example, is it best to talk to his teacher ahead of time about his special needs, or will this set up lowered expectations right away? Will he be treated differently? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Does anyone have any thoughts? Any parents who have faced this or are facing this for any grade level?

Today, July 26th, marks 20 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. We've come a long way, but have we come far enough?
One of our very own DFW moms has provided her take on this question based on years of experience and knowledge.

I hear from parents every day who struggle with feeding their children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). While many if not most parents of children with ASDs face this challenge, picky eating is a pretty common phenomenon throughout the population. So what's the difference? Is there one? Through my search for info, I came across a nice article that presents the findings of a recent research study on this very issue. Here it is, with my thanks to Dr. Bill Yates for taking the time to blog about it.
