Son, "Do you prefer my Mini Pad!"

Helping my son with his emersion into an Oklahoma History inclusive classroom, a phrase came out of my mouth that seemed so wrong!

My son, Tanner, is taking the tests and quizes with no accomadations.  I am helping him organize information about the chapter.  What to do?  Figure out what works for him and so on. 

How to study a chapter  ******

I will attache a copy of how to study for a chapter test if you are interested.  However, I intend to right a complete blog post on that.

His coach/teacher said it was okay to let him use his phone or an IPAD.   That is when this came out of my mouth, "Would you prefer to use my Mini pad?"  I had asked him about the phone and IPAD also.   WHEN THAT CAME OUT I thought that is bad.

THIS     OR  THIS   ?**

Anybody else had this expereince?

GETTING ORGAINZED THIS YEAR IN PICTURES

This year I am getting organized.  Planning to fit soon, is in the list of things to do.  One thing I am learning is that my All or Nothing Thinking is something I must change.  This means when I have gotten way too far behind.....that I must catch up in one day......resulting in pulling the covers over my head and staying in bed depressed. Realing the idea of being perfect is too hard to attain.  That said once I get in a routine and back into an organized system, I do great.

My son with autism has a counselor that demands the chore list be visual.  Attempting to remove the negative conatation of chores, I am listing them as household chores.   Tanner, my son, has to realize that Dad has a hard job which means he is excused from some of the chores.  I am at home and catergorized as Disabled.  My wreck in 2008 left me in this label.  My son must learn this means I can't do what I did before the wreck.   Now see my "Getting Organized in Pictures!"  The next part in the series will be checklist in picutes.

The hooks have all the chores in the house broken down into pictures and everything that must be done in each room or area.
