General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Need Help on cost at specialty shops and in general for snacks and things
« on: April 06, 2012, 12:06:17 PM »
It seems to me that I remember some food prices listed on the SDC website. But...maybe it was in a pathfinder. I remember reading some prices for Polly's fried chicken. Food vendors and restaurants will run about the same as most theme parks, but the choices are SO MUCH GREATER at SDC. Yum!! Drinks are pricey, so you might want to put a couple of water bottles in your bag. You'll have a great time!

You have every right to be on a soapbox, and I'm glad you are! There are so many, many simple strategies that help with communication - visual cues, simple direct instructions, and a longer response time, for example, that can improve the learning environment not only for the autistic child, but also for the teacher and his/her classmates. I wish I knew more about it when my nephews were younger. As a teacher, I recognized some of their red flags for a learning impairment, but their parents were not accepting of the fact that there could be a problem. One is gifted, high functioning and his younger brother is low functioning. It took so long to get them diagnosed that it makes me sad thinking of the time waisted that we (his family) could have been spent helping him learn to communicate with us. And, you are right about some teachers not caring, but there are so many others that simply don't know what to do and become overwhelmed with the multitude of disorders - cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral - that are present in every classroom. Keep on advocating!!! Acceptance is the first step to understanding!

Tom, I am a teacher and statistics tell us that 1 in 100 children are diagnosed within the Autism Spectrum Disorder. The rate at which students are diagnosed is growing faster than the research. Autism isn't something they teach you much about in school, and faculty workshops are fewer and far between due to budget cuts, so...if you need to know, you're own your own for helping these kids achieve. Within the last five years, I think I have had a student with autism each year - before that , none! Also, I have two nephews with aspbergers. Both of them are Eagle Scouts!! This is National Autism Awareness month. Do your part, friends, and enter a marathon or find some other way to help fund research! My next book (aka- on-line class) is Child Abuse, Drug and Alcohol Abuse. And THEN I will finally have enough credits to keep my certification renewed for the next five years.

« on: March 31, 2012, 10:51:54 PM »i found everything i read and seen on autism and aspbergers very interesting you must be looking in the wrong book ....lol
It was very interesting! But it is my third in a row on-line grad class! Since I am sitting home with a broken knee, I thought I may as well take advantage of time and get some coursework finished before summer. Three classes, 3 exams, 12 term papers, and 9 journal articles to critique in three weeks! Yikes!!
Now you know why I said *YAWN!* One more class to go, and I can read something fun like...Photoshop for Dummies, How to Use Aperture...

I love walking the Landing and having dinner there. But, I must admit...I spend more time walking around and enjoying scenery than I do shopping. With gas at a premium, I feel lucky that I can even get to Branson as often as I do. I also love the uniqueness of the shops, but so many of them are franchises that I can access at home w/o paying "higher than a kite" sales tax. Sorry, Branson! This economy is kicking butt!

I'm not really a collector or anything, but I have a SDC log cabin Christmas ornament that we bought on our honeymoon years ago. It's my favorite ornament - I hope it doesn't disintegrate some day (getting fragile). I have a collection of mugs, and of course, my favs - the OTC light up mugs that I don't think they sold last year.
