Shoebox tasks

My Shoebox tasks are on the way!!

We placed the order at school this week - after much head scratching about processing a payment on our end but its all gone through and they should arrive through Easter!! Very exciting!

Cannot wait to go and have a play with them!

You can take a look at the website and see for yourself - http://www.shoeboxtasks.com/

This is an awesome company with a great ethos - it basically provides supported employment for Autistic students coming out of TEACCH programmes in America and provides them with paid work...couldn't have ordered from a better company really!

We are also getting something similar made by some lovely students I know, that's a really exciting venture as well - Pictures to follow!

Just bring the chocolate

What a fantastic blog!

I came across this when a friend tweeted it to me and was truly inspired by it! The most recent post just gives you an insight into the dedication by this mother to not only her sons well being but to his enjoyment despite disability! I am very jealous of this awesome standing frame!!!
If I ever have a down day at work or feel a bit off then I know where to look to for inspiration!
