I read on Yahoo news (and saw something on tv) about a couple of wildfires in California. They

said two people have died so far. Fire and earthquakes used to make me pretty nervous when

we lived in California.

Autism Classroom has created a wonderful resource for teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators and parents called How to Set Up a Classroom for Students with Autism.

Every 20 minutes, another child is diagnosed with autism. Most of these children’s parents are overwhelmed by the news. After the parent is aware of the problem, the daily routine begins. Every little thing is important and it is difficult to keep track. Sunflower Bee offers a unique solution for easy record keeping.

On June 27, 2008 Sunflower Bee will release a fill-in-the-blank daily journal for parents of children with autism. The title of the book is “A Day at a Time” Parent’s Journal Series: Autism. The journal makes it easy for parents to record important facts like observations and treatments of their children. “A Day at a Time” Parent’s Journal Series: Autism can be preordered now at a special discount. Sunflower Bee will donate a portion of the profits to autism research organizations.

Sunflower Bee was founded after owner Jen Merheb was diagnosed with a thyroid condition. Jen Merheb wanted to track her symptoms so that developing patterns would be apparent. Jen Merheb went to search for a logbook and found nothing but blank journals.

“I wanted a journal with a less time-consuming, easy to use format. I have been driven to publish this journal because of the fact that I am a parent. I wanted to give parents who are going through any type of condition with their child an easier way to cope. I would also like to follow up with other journals in the future.” Jen Merheb explains about Sunflower Bee journals.

“A Day at a Time” Parent’s Journal Series: Autism is complete with pages for all the activities, observations, and treatments of a child with autism. Parents can keep track of all the changes and special moments with their child. When they go to the doctor, they can take the book to give accurate, detailed information.  read more »
