What Therapies Have Helped Your ASD Child With Sensory Processing Disorder?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Mine still has issues relating to loud sounds but will not wear headphones. Some sounds, once explained, she has no problems with and will just ask "what's that sound?" but others such as her baby sister crying really bothers her.

A MyAutismTeam Member

Looking For Advice On A Tablet For A Toddler
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have a tablet or hand held device they recommend for a toddler? My daughter is not talking yet and she loves computer and phone games. My thought is to get her something for her birthday on 2/13 when she turns 2. I've looked at the leappad and cubby but not sure about any of this. Any suggestions or what works for other parents?

and when you get a chance, use ABC Mouse.com for your daughter to enjoy on the computer.

Can Any Refer An Eye Doctor In The Houston Area (optometrist Or Opthomalogist), Other Than U Of H
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi,

I'm looking for an eye doctor in the Houston area to give me a second opinion on his prescription. Currently we go to U of H to have his eyes checked, and they do a great job, but I'd like to make sure it's the correct prescription since my son is not able to tell me. I'm willing to travel to Austin or San Antonio as well. I'm having a hard time finding an eye doctor willing to see an autistic child.

Thanks for your help!!
