HealthCare Reform

Yes healthcare reform is needed. Insurance companies should not have so much power over how medical treatment is provided. Specifically in pediatric rehab- there should be no stipulations on place of service; unreasonable visit limits; change of co-pays/deductibles; or diagnosis specific coverages.

cooking and language

Use cooking with your child as a good way to work on vocabulary and adjectives. You can adjust this activity based upon your child's age. For a young child,  simply imitating the different foods works on expressive language.  Do simple naming tasks to see if your child can remember the name(s) of the foods. Ask: "What's this?" (model if needed or provide cues).  Always provide praise for all  verbal attempts. Stay tuned for more ideas next week. Live life to your best abilities and absolutely love yourself.
