We watched your presentation to parents on Angelmen's Syndrome. It was excellent and we enjoyed your sense of humor. One thing we need to ask. You had mentioned a "PODD" app for the iPad during your talk. Is there a "Pragmatically Organized Display" app on the iPad?<br />We are intrigued and curious. Never heard of one before. Thanks so much!

I...I'm so glad you mentioned the abuse risk. I've heard people say that you can help protect non-disabled kids from sexual abuse by making sure they have the right to say'no' to any touch that isn't absolutely essential. They can refuse a hug from Grandma, for example. But so many people recommend the exact opposite when teaching disabled kids, and it seems to be 'taboo' to suggest that forcing touch on them could put them at risk. Personally, I think this is especially true for kids on the autism spectrum, or with sensory processing issues. Some of these kids can find touch overloading or painful. What lesson are we teaching if we force an unpleasant or painful sensation on a child without a very clear need? I've even heard of people grabbing an autistic child's face to force eye contact - a two-for-one boundary violation! Can you imagine doing that to a non-disabled child? And it's actually worse to do it to an autistic child, because many autistic people find both touch and eye contact overloading.Ettinahttp://abnormaldiversity.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798368475920876945.post-62099277562204123262016-04-05T19:24:54.368-04:002016-04-05T19:24:54.368-04:00I know this was many years ago, but I'm very i...I know this was many years ago, but I'm very interested in accessing the Rick Hoyt Speller, but it seems the link is unavailable?

I did, however, let them direct my hand, just so I could feel their direction, their intention. Even teaching language to "PDD-NOS" son, I couldn't do the "table ready, look me in the eye" stuff. I am so freaking independent. (I think that is my main problem.)I always wanted everything my son did to be a matter of his own free will. He now has a very developed will...<br /><br />But, I'm hoping I am understanding. When Ben was little I ~always~ was telling my self, you have to "show" him, not "tell" him, because it was how he understood. How many of our kids are language impaired or visual learners??(Expectant pause...) Probably the vast majority. Modeling just makes sense, big time. <br /><br />If you are not familiar with it, sometime take a look at altteaching.org. They do a lot of modeling, a lot of encouragement (talking about the kids behind their back in a good way..."Look at what so and so is doing!").<br /><br />Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798368475920876945.post-22877922029329282372016-03-25T13:00:06.828-04:002016-03-25T13:00:06.828-04:00Kate, I thought I had commented already, but unsur...Kate, I thought I had commented already, but unsurprisingly, I must not have.
