The Wii!


Grandpa and Nana got Dylan a Wii video game. He really enjoys playing bowling the best. But, he is learning golf and other sports too. It's been great cause it keeps him involved with other kids when they come over to our house.

Well, the funny thing is listening to Ella be his "coach." She truly has the training of most autism behaviorists. She tells Dylan "do not spin the golfer in circles, play the game!" and "take your turn, don't spin!" She has sat through hundreds of hours of behaviorists, speech therapists and occupational therapists redirect her brother. She knows how to tell him to not spin out into his own world, but stay with the game. I sit back and watch in awe as she directs him like a trained autism specialist! She knows her stuff, at the age of 3, and could already have a career in it!
