That is really outstanding! Feel free to tell us more. Alex likes "bamming" (Elmo word) stuff on homemade pizzas, and he's learned to mix his own chocolate milk in a way that makes me proud (and saves me from bending over to get the chocolate stuff in the pantry). Wish he'd eat like he can mix. Food service of some kind, all the way up to chef, maybe, sure sounds like a possibility for your son! Jeff Food! That is really outstanding! Feel free to tell us more.

His education was my education. As I learned how he learned, I learned to teach him better. We parlayed strengths into new experiences. Now, today, at nearly 17, his creativity is no longer bottled up inside him. He communicates with us mostly through food. Seriously. If he is stunted socially, he is a chef in the kitchen, coming up with new arrangements for his favorite canvas, pizza. Today, he is acing his Food and Nutrition course and as DORS (Division of Rehabilitative Services) helps him in his transitional services, we are actually contemplating a career in food. Thank you for this article. You have encouraged me to keep learning. This post reminds me of when my oldest son was in school. His education was my education.
