![]() Hi Everyone,I’m getting back into the swing of things at the office this week after an awesome three days at our Extreme Makeover workshop last week. Erin and I enjoyed spending the three days with a group of educators and parents who are passionate about helping students with autism reach their fullest potential in life. It was awesome to see the amazing discoveries people made and I can’t wait to hear how they implement everything when they get back to their homes and classrooms. If you weren’t able to attend we’ve got some special opportunities coming that will let you benefit from the content and experience as well. Stay tuned! The new school year is just around the corner in many parts of the United States. My feature article this week provides you with five important things to consider when making school-related decisions for your child. Take a few moments to read it and let me know what you think! Here’s to a great rest of the week! Looking to the horizon, |

Explorations in Eating Audio Program, Calendar and Journal SetMaking Eating an Adventure and Expanding Your Child’s Food Preferences.If your child is a picky eater or has feeding issues, mealtimes can feel like a battle zone. Try to introduce a new food and you’re surely buying a front row seat to a meltdown. His limited diet makes it difficult to enjoy a meal out or eat at friends and relatives’ homes. And you can’t help but worry about the impact such a limited diet will have on his health and development. But there is hope. Over the years we’ve found that if a child has the opportunity to explore new foods in a non-threatening and playful way, she will eventually taste it—and often, ends up liking it. So, we’ve created a few easy-to-use tools to help you follow the same process at home. Discover how to start broadening your child’s food preferences by ordering your Explorations in Eating Audio program, Calendar, and Journal Set for just $49.95 today!
