Weekend update: had a great time in Portland at the ABA Autism Conference. I always leave conferences inspired and motivated. This year I went to 2 amazing talks that emphasized teaching independence (often over looked). One recommendation was to have parents keep a journal of everything they do for their child for a day or two (zipping up coats, packing backpacks, helping in the shower, etc) and then start teaching to those skills. We tend to focus on what is easy to teach- academics and not think enough about the future and adulthood of the student. Overall, inspiring.
We also celebrated Adam's 30th birthday with a trip to Seattle and dinner with Jesse, Meg and Lily at a favorite Chinese place with hand-shaven noodles. Delicious!
