Small Steps, Great Joys

As some of you know, I work in Special Education providing Applied behavioral Analysis Therapy for children with autism. During the last six months I have learned so much about the autism spectrum and have gained a new perspective of the condition. I have also seen my little kiddos grow and learn too. Whether we are working on their letters, numbers or social interaction, each step is of great joy. I had been working for a few months with one of my little girls on playing Hopscotch. Well, just yesterday she hopped from square to square on her own!! I felt like a proud mother as I cheered her on and gave her the much deserved positive reinforcement:)
