A Parent’s Guide to Living with ASD
It is my belief that parents are the core of the family unit and as such we bring our own life experiences to the mix, both positive and negative, and this definitely impacts the lives of our children – I know that what information we have at the time will determine the strength of that family unit. I have had a lot of experience in this field, and so this book … Learn More->

Emotions were not explained to me when I was a child. I either heard, “Gee you’re happy” or “Why are you so angry?” … Writing this book for my children allowed me to draw parallels between their emotions and the emotions of the characters in the book who experienced different situations in their day just like they did … Learn More ->

How many times have you been out in a public place and your child will say something that, while it may be the truth, makes you wish the ground would open up and swallow you?
Well, I don’t believe that shaming children when they say things that may be embarrassing is a very constructive practice. Instead, I focus on teaching them a more appropriate way that is far more productive and not so damaging to their self-esteem … Learn More ->

Given the fast pace of today’s society, it’s really hard for others to keep mindful of the way other individuals may feel and experience their lives. It’s common that people tend to ‘forget’ how someone with unique ways may function successfully.
It was important for my son’s development that I keep reminding myself that he had different ways of functioning to me, and so to keep his needs ‘front and centre’ in my mind I developed this short book with accompanying sheets so that I could laminate them and put them in a place that would consistently and gently remind me of how to work with my son … Learn More ->

Meeting Positively: Empowerment Tips for Positive Communication with Others
I never realized how important and valuable having communication skills was until I began dealing with schools, medical professionals and other parents. I also became acutely aware that I was never really taught how to communicate appropriately as I was growing up, and as a result, I kept shooting myself in the foot, so to speak. It was not until I left many meetings completely exhausted and confused that I realized there was a missing link … Learn More ->

Free To Be Me! Empowerment Against Bullying
Unfortunately there are people out there that are so insecure in themselves that in order to feel better about themselves or to look “cool” in front of other insecure people, they need to feed off the power of others, draining that person of the ability to defend themselves … “Free To Be Me” includes the tools that our family used to combat bullying … I researched what bullying was, what affects can take place, and developed ways that parents can build their child up over time – once again, I found that this wasn’t part of an instant fix program – it has to do with developing the individual’s self-esteem, but found that with the right support, your child will learn how to become strong, and how to take back their control … Learn More ->
