For many of us, Mother's Day is a time to appreciate the valuable and inspiring women in our lives. Mothers with children who suffer from Autism may find it more challenging to celebrate this special day.
Rethink Autism provides online videos and tools to help parents and professionals deal with Autism.
Rethink Autism’s curriculum spans the entire autism spectrum and covers a broad range of skills, including academic, language, social, motor, daily living, and behavior management. All video lessons are consistent with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) methodology. Endorsed by the US Surgeon General and the American Academy of Pediatrics, ABA is the only treatment for autism that has been consistently validated by independent scientific research (Dillon, Shelly).
In appreciation of mothers of children with autism, Rethink Autism has drawn from its library of video lessons to provide a free online video with a few tips on how to teach a child with autism to appreciate Mom by making a gift or even a meal (using a microwave).
Read more about Rethink Autism here, in an article by the Seattle Special Needs Issues Examiner.
Happy Mother's Day! Please take out some time in your day to value and appreciate all of the strong, dedicated and cherished women in your life.
