That Other Stuff – New Category

Posted: December 30, 2008 | by Kristine | Filed under: That Other Stuff

As many already know I am a mom of 3 children. Our middle child also has Autism. I’ve learned a LOT about Autism, Sensory Integration and all things related! I’m also a preschool teacher.

Working with my own children and also preschool children for years has given me a lot of ideas that I just HAD to implement or create and some I’d like to share with my blog readers. I’ve let the other site I had a lot of this hosted on fade out because it became too much work to keep several personal websites updated. I’m moving some of the favorites here so that others can still enjoy it. I get lots of messages and emails asking me when I’m “bringing xyz back again”. I also have a lot of resources for babywearing families and businesses as well that I’ll be moving here too.

So.. here it is!

Many kids with Autism like visual cue cards and reminders, I know mine sure does! I made up a couple sets for use in areas that we were struggling with. These made transitions easier for our whole family!

As a preschool teacher, I find the ones that deal with winter dress can be beneficial to all kids as well! Each child is meant to be gender neutral and I’ve included both light and dark color skin tones. I should also add a warning that my illustrated child, whom I call the “Velcro Kid”, sports a cape in almost everything he does. Its a very “I can do it” attitude I like to portray, he’s “super”. I just have a hard time picturing him without his little cape. So I apologize in advance if, after using these images, your child decides he/she must wear a cape as well.
