He is having trouble learning how to read, but he seems to have many, many facts memorized and always ready to divulge them. How can I help him to read, other than just practice with him?
Wow, I can’t wait.
Any research on the sensory learning program that uses the table, lights and auditory input. Also, any special programs to address resistive eaters and nutrition.
My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS and he’s very smart but his verbal language is very limited. He is very aggressive with his younger sister and very strong willed. How do I show him this is not acceptable and get him to listen.

This is PHENOMENAL! Would love to have some new/addtional information about supplements – omega-3, focus/concentration, enzymes, etc. – what is known to work, studies, etc. as puberty occurs and getting through the teen years. My daughter is 9, and although we are already doing these things with success, we are coming up to puberty and I need some more guidance. Also, can we pass this information on to others that are not members? I know quite a few people that would greatly benefit from attending? Thank you for all you do!
This sounds like an exciting event that I am looking forward to experiencing. Thank.
