Answer 1

Peggy,

A site that I have referred to on many occasions is here:

http://www.nads.org/

I also have a close friend who has an autistic son (12 yrs old). She has done a mountain of research on the web. I will get her best sites and list them for you, but I can't do it until tomorrow. (Monday morning). Either don't close this to answers yet, or send me an address to reach you.

Buzzy

Good afternoon Peggy<

As promised, I spoke with my friend and she has told me about a school, which her 12 year old has attended and they have a website which gets into very great detail about how teachers approach working with a multitude of learning disabilities from sensory processing to sensory integration to receptive and expressive disorders. I visited the site and I thnk you will find it helpful.

Let me know if this helps,
