My son was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and struggled through school. He faced many challenges both academically and socially. To everyone’s surprise, he received two middle school awards for showing enormous kindness, understanding, and thoughtfulness toward all.
As a teacher, I had a student who couldn’t control his behavior. During class he would hurt other students without any regard for their feelings. His parents and I were able to create a structured plan based around undiscovered sensory processing issues. We addressed that issue, created structure, and gave him the tools to cope in class. His behavior transformed, and we got to experience an amazingly funny and high-spirited personality.
Changes like this could not have happened without guidance. By finding the bright light within and focusing on your child’s strengths, we can release their remarkableness. This is the approach I will help you take with your child.
