Isaac Spotlight

We found out last monday that our sweet little Isaac has autism.  He starts special preschool in September. Isaac knows his letters and letter sounds, can count to 109 and is great with puzzles and visual/spacial tasks. He is sweet, shares with his sister, and gives lots of hugs. Isaac is a happy obedient boy, which is what I really want for him. There are a few things we need work on with him. When kids on the playground talk to him he doesn't even look at them, and when they try to play with him he ignores them. He is behind on speach and language. He doesn't understand a lot of what we say and has limited words himself. Unlike many children with autism Isaac does tease and lie and has a normal relationship with us, which is great. That gives us a lot of hope that as we work with him and he goes to preschool he will be able to go to normal kindergarten. God has really comforted us and let us know that Isaac is in his hands. We have felt inspired on how to help him in his three key areas that he needs help 1. Social and communication 2. Imaginitive play 3. Understanding and obeying 3 step processes. Jonathan has made a cool website with a lot more information on it. You can visit it at www.pinksoled.com
