		<description><![CDATA[My son threw a shoe in class recently.  In this case, he was working at the chalk board, and a classmate noticed that one of his shoes was untied, and kindly went to tie it for him. The good news was that my son didn&#8217;t throw the shoe at his helpful classmate.  The bad news was that after he threw it, he hid under a table and refused to leave. 
When asked why he threw the shoe, my son says he was acting shy.  My suspicion  is that he lost his concentration and panicked when he could no longer keep up.

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week I found an article online that provided &#8220;Signs that Your Child Might be Spoiled.&#8221; One of the signs mentioned was that he or she would fail to respond upon being greeted. When I read this, I shifted uneasily in my chair. Although he handles please and thank you beautifully, my seven year old son Connor will not even talk to his classmates when he is having a bad day. I know this hurts the other children, who go out of their way to make him feel comfortable in his general education classroom.
Later that day, when I picked <a href="http://autismisnottheboss.com/2009/03/how-to-say-hello/"> Continue reading...</a>]]></description>

Model Me Kids® has broken the code on tools to teach social skills to children who need a boost in this area. The Model Me Kids® DVDs are an excellent resource for children with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities. The DVDs feature some of the best teachers around &#8212; other kiddos. My son enjoys watching them, understands the messaging and has a clear connection with the characters. Our special education caseworker liked them so much that she uses the DVDs in her classroom.
The DVDs can stand alone as a training tool, but I also highly recommend purchasing the <a href="http://autismisnottheboss.com/2009/03/model-me-kids-2/"> Continue reading...</a>]]></description>
