Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Give-A-Way 04/21/2012-04/27/2012

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Give-A-Way 04/21/2012-04/27/2012 I have partnered with Samsung Mobile in order to bring you this fantastic give-a-way. This give-a-way is for a Brand New, 16GB WiFi Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. If you are unfamiliar with the Samsung Galaxy line of devices, you can learn about them here. They are widely considered the best of the best. I wholly prefer them to the Apple line of devices for several reasons: 1) Hardware                                                                   2) Android OS 3) Build Quality 4) Price 5) Features   I’m a huge advocate for the use of Android devices to help children with #Autism. Android is designed for customization and frequently updated. The Samsung Galaxy line of Tablets are the very best available. The screens are bright, vibrant and very

Our Battle Field: Part 3.5: Bullying, a letter to my local grade school principal

Dear Principal of Nearby Elementary, I’m keeping your identity and school name private as a means to protect the students of your school. Based on what I witnessed yesterday, both with my eyes and during my brief phone conversation with your secretary, I feel that someone really should think about protecting them. Clearly, it isn’t you. What kind of society are we that our children are setting up “dog fights” using younger children after school?

Those older kids started that fight yesterday. They enjoyed it while it went on. And there isn’t a doubt in my mind that they wouldn’t have broken it up if the other good Samaritan and I hadn’t intervened. They likely wouldn’t have broken it up

ooooh shiny toy – mine

the dreaded call.  David was with his mentor today.  stole a toy.  lied about it.  neither of which is anything new. He evidently doesn’t understand that we will check and confirm everything that he says.  And that if he comes home with a new toy, we will confirm that someone paid for it. No free rides. Grrr.. I am just so frustrated with the situation. If he has a mentor for social outings, and to give us a break, and consistently steals while with the mentor, how long before they stopped taking him?  On the other hand, they know that he takes things that aren’t his.  Why don’t they keep a better eye on what he is doing?  I even discussed them searching him if they were concerned about him taking something. When we were at wal-mart last week, he said he had to go to the bathroom.  Said he
