Welcome!

Welcome guests! The intent of my blog is to provide a place to post information related to children, families, mental health concerns and aspects of life that impact these. I often find great information that would be nice to share with others such as, interesting readings, videos, or links. Nothing on this blog should be taken as advice on its own, however, as readers/bloggers you should consult with your family doctor or mental health practitioner if an issue seems relevant to you.

Walt Disney World with 6.5 year old with Autism (Asperger's)

I'm currently heading to Disney World with the children. I'm fortunate to have my spouse accompanying, while i am aware that several single parents have attempted this feat. My son, age 4.5, will also be along for the fun. I feel as though we are embarking on an experiment in light of our daughter's special needs.

For true stories from the experience and a good giggle check in over the next week or so for 'the life and times of a Young Gal at Disney World'.....

My Practice Updates

As of the month of April 2010, I am available several hours per week for therapy appointments.

My practice phone number if folks are looking to book appointments continues to be 705.441.5504.
Practice location has moved from 78 Moberly Street in Collingwood to 46 Brock Crescent.
I have added a sliding scale to my practice whereby individuals are able to access a rate in line with their income.

So long for today.
