I am interested in signing up my daughter for swimming lessons. She loves the water and I notice that she tries to float on her own, but I am not sure If she is capable of succeeding in that due to her lack of listening skills. Is there any other mothers out there that has a child with autism and has them in swimming lessons?

My adult son (24 years of age) has trouble functioning in basic life skills. He has extremely poor short term memory. He is forgetful, loses, misplaces things. He says he does not "track" and cannot perform ordinary, mundane tasks as others do. He is very troubled by this and is searching for answers to this problem.

He will be 4 in April.

We had to secure windows in the upstairs of our home out of… read more

How do u know if your child needs ABA?

Max nearly drown last week at a friend's house with a locked back door and pool fence in place, following some older kids outside. He lowered himself feet first into the deep end and would have drown if his 7 year old sister hadn't pulled him out and wrestled him to the ground (he was determined to get back in the pool).
