One of the great things about having your sons in day programs (ie Community Coaching, Community Engagement or Group Day) is the ability for them to keep learning…So I gave Nicholas $20 to go with his group on last Friday to this sit down Reataurant & order & pay for his food…the next day we were out & I asked him if he wanted a slushy from 7~Eleven…gave him money to pay for it….well I guess he learned about tipping…because he not only paid the clerk but told her to “Keep The Change”definitely gotta work on the distinction between hourly staff & waitresses….The Journey Continues

One of the things we believes helps the Brownlow Brothers is to ensure that they are challenged both physically & mentally so here is Jonathan playing a new Word Search game on his iPad…I love it because it highlights every word in a different color but the words do in all directions which helps him to think differently & focus…the other game is one called Car Jam where he has to send color coordinated taxis to pick up passengers…and as you can see there are many fun educational games on his iPad that have helped him continue to improve on skills carried over form school to everyday life…The Journey Continues!

That look when you realize your Special Needs Child is so computer savy that he goes thru 72K photos back to July 2009 but then changes the wallpaper background in the Safari web browser so that every time you open a new page you see a younger him…not sure if this is Genius or Vanity… but I’m here for it…The Journey Continues

Just one of the beautiful signs that Spring is here….Jonathan sleeping peacefully in his favorite hammock in the back yard…it’s like he’s in retirement mode…The Journey Continues

that look when you catch 1 of your Special Needs sons watch YouTube videos on how to make Mac & Cheese & then catch him@ breaking into the garage to get the frozen mozzarella out the chest freezer…even when we aren’t working on their life skills they are learning on their own & that’s a great thing… The Journey Continues
