· My daughter is 14 years old and for the last few months, we have been doing homeschooling with a very capable young woman. Sadie is homeschooled Mon thru Thursday and we are looking for another student to come once a week and join Sadie and Jess (teacher) for a few hours. We have not yet figured out what the program would look like, that will depend on who comes and joins us. Fridays is the only day that this will not be available. It would be ideal if the new student is high school age. Please contact me at abbegates@yahoo.com no fee for this.....we live in Vancouver close to 70th and Granville. Thank you Abbe Gates

· For children with autism, don't set the bar too low. Not too many people with disabilities become role models for the rest of the world. What do Keller and Grandin have in common? Both had parents who understood and accepted their daughters' differences, but were unwilling to accept a disability as an excuse for poor behavior, laziness or self-indulgence. Both had teachers who believed in their abilities without whitewashing their challenges. And both, of course, had considerable abilities and ambition - though those qualities were not evident in their earliest years. Click here to read morean Words - Family Focused Program for
