the chickens played hide and seek today. This one isn't very good at it.

I'll be away in Germany at a conference about TEACCH for the next few days. "TEACCH recognises autism as a lifelong condition and does not aim to cure but to respond to autism as a culture. Core tenets of the TEACCH philosophy include an understanding of the effects of autism on individuals; use of assessment to assist program design around individual strengths, skills, interests and needs; enabling the individual to be as independent as possible; working in collaboration with parents and families." I hope I will learn a lot so that I can be more effective in my work.
