Tis the Season for Autism Giveaways

As the holiday season is in full-swing, it seems that more and more blogs I frequent are doing give-aways - from tech gadgets to high value gift cards and back again... Wow! Here's hoping everyone who enters a little bit of luck and good fortune. Free stuff is FREE stuff! Woot!

I thought I would take a few minutes to spotlight some Autism related giveaways/contests.

Win a copy of In My Mind: The World through the Eyes of Autism

First, this one ends very soon. December 12th (that's today..) by midnight. A bloggin' friend, author, and mother of a child with Autism - Adonya Wong is giving away a copy of her book In My Mind: The World through the Eyes of Autism. Go here for more info on how to enter. If you do enter, please let her know that MT from BonBonGazette sent you her way. If you don't win, you can pre-order a copy on Amazon today.



Model Me Kids: Autism Holiday Giveaway - My Favorite Teacher

A good teacher makes all the difference in the world. Boy, isn't that the truth! My son has had good fortune in our school district and has had some really amazing teachers, para-professionals, and therapists. We did have one incident of a not so good teacher, and that really made me wake up and appreciate even more the hard work that our teachers do. This year, my son's teacher is amazing. She "gets" him. She's tough yet approachable, a winning combination for Alex. I've nominated her to win a set of DVDs from Model Me Kids which are geared toward social skills. Social Skills is most definitely the one area where I see my school district lacking in. We make up for that by keeping Alex busy with lots of extra activities like Brick Challenger, POAC, and SEPTA events. Still, I would LOVE to see more social skills activities and teaching in the classroom!

Nominate your favorite teacher here

Model Me Kids sells social skills DVDs on many many topics. Excellent for home use, school, and therapy. Consider getting one for gift this holiday season for your child, or your child's class.
