Here is a recent article entitled "ABA and the Older Child" written by Kristina Chew, Ph.D. about the benefits of ABA therapy for her school-age son Charlie. 

"Older children can benefit and need ABA—need good teaching—just as much as young children. It is never too late to learn, never, ever, too late to give kids like Charlie a chance."

(Thanks, Kristina!)

I just finished a post entitled "Learning How to Learn" which is about how we started our ABA education program for Charlie almost 6 years ago in St. Paul. There's a bit about Stella's role in getting Charlie started, too. See mysonhasautism.blogspot.com.

I just received an email today from Kristina Chew. She has begun a blog of her own entitled "My Son Has Autism". She wanted us to pass the word around to anybody we could think of. What a perfect place to pass the word along, eh?

In my previous post, I provided a link to an article written by James Fisher, the father of Charlie, the first autistic boy I had ever worked with. Today, I have found an article written by Kristina Chew, Charlie's mom, called An Unexpected Childhood. An autism mom asks: What makes a child perfect?

In the article, Kristina shares her family's experience with autism. Once hoping for a Princeton graduate, her hopes and dreams for Charlie have been rewritten.

I was introduced to the world of Autism in 1999 by a 2-year old boy named Charlie. In Charlie's World: A family battles autism, Charlie's father, James T. Fisher, shares his family's experience with Autism.
