When that bag of bananas just barely missed my head freshman year, I thought, “Why?” But then I immediately started to determine the most effective method of banana retrieval, repossession, and possible surrender. Because even when you’re being attacked by fruit, you cannot stop thinking...
...panic and pain at the loss of the "normal child" they expected, as they confront a child who responds to the world in his own foreign code. Your article highlighted the Floortime approach. My colleagues and I are firm believers that for most children and families, it is the method that best enhances the bonding between child and parent, child and therapist, and eventually child and peers. The therapy is intense and long, but the developmental outcome is rewarding...
...autism. The behavior-modification techniques used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) lure parents into believing that their children can be "fixed," or at least trained to act appropriately. In my experience, ABA works at finding solutions without necessarily providing an understanding of the cause of the problems. The Floortime method is a long-term solution that teaches children how to communicate and helps them repair problems at the foundation. My child with autism has had experience with both methods.

...different from the tomato slices and the lettuce. However, on a larger scale, the pile is consistent, because each sandwich is the same. The pile of sandwiches can be described in terms of how the consistency of the pile changes as you zoom in or out looking at it.This method is applied to particle physics through the concept of lattice gauge theory. According to Peskin, the basic idea of lattice gauge theory is that the infinities that appeared to be flaws in quantum field theory are actually the data you need to move from one scale to another.This development allowed...
