Autism, Magnetic Dry Erase Board & Picture Cards
We went and bought a big magnetic dry erase board yesterday at Target. My friend Amanda suggested taking photos of regularly used items like milk, sandwich etc.. and putting magnets on the back for Zeke to help with his Autism. That way when he wants something he can bring us the photo so we can help him out. I want to get them laminated first so they last longer.
Other than that nothing big or new has happened. We are making the hour trip to go to Whole Foods in Vancouver, WA tomorrow. We have a grocery list of Autism and Zeke friendly items from the GFCF book I bought. This shall be interesting. 🙂
March 2009 – Loved his longer hair!
Have you use a picture system and has it helped?
Ummm possibly? I really don’t know?
Over here we can buy “egg replacer” which I know a friend uses for her son who isn’t able to have any part of the egg.
I wonder if you can get it there?
Oh ok! I will put that on my list of to buy’s! Thanks again! Just added you to my official blogroll! Yay
What a cutie! And you are an AWESOME photographer!
Hey, I was just thinking about you the other day and this new GF world that you are entering,
I am not a natural cook but I found the things my kids missed the most were actually relatively easy to make.
Like chicken nuggets.
I just throw roughly chopped chicken breast, an egg, a handful of rice crumbs (or GF breadcrumbs ) and a couple of herbs like thyme or rosemary into a food processor and whiz the whole lot up so it looks like what we call “mince” – I think you guys call it “hamburger”?
And then roll it into little balls and coat them with more rice crumbs then shallow fry them.
You can make any shape of size you want and my kids just love them with tomato sauce to dip them in (I think you call it ketchup).
An even quicker way is to just cut the chicken into strips, coat them and fry them.
We have these at least once a week and now I know EXACTLY what goes in them 🙂
Hey thanks!
Do you think that the egg yolk would be good enough to hold it all together since he can’t have the egg whites now?
Poor guy will never get to try my Deviled Eggs….mmmmmm yummy.
