UC Davis MIND Institute

I highly recommend this site for anyone struggling with their child's development. Dr. Temple Grandin's presentations are fascinating. She is a professor at the University of Colorado and is autistic. People with disabilities can be successful. Visit http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/mindinstitute/events/recorded_events.html

Parent Input

I have just sent a link to this site to my present IM parents. Parents, I want you to post comments on this site especially on the Data Speaks Spread sheets about your child's IM training. I would like to ask you to keep all information confidential. You may share age, sex, struggles, and definitely IM changes that you have seen, but no names of your children please. Think about what information would have been helpful for you to know and share that with others. Thank you so much. I will work on a way to organize your comments but in the meantime, just make random posts if you want. Thanks, Lori
