It's hard to believe it's been two years since I started writing this blog.  I had read somewhere that the average blog life is about 18 months before the blog is abandoned.  This is a long time to try and think of new and interesting things to share.  I'm lucky though, I love my job and I love writing.  I feel I am ...

I am always looking for resources that will help me do my job better or give me more insight into the different conditions and developmental delays I work with in Pediatrics.  Recently I stumbled upon the Your Therapy Source, Inc website which not only has a wealth of free information, a listing of books and other tools and where they can be ...

After being in the profession for greater than 10 years, some things just come naturally, like gait assessment.  I find myself assessing my own family a great deal as they walk back and forth in front of the T.V.  This seems to occur more often when the UFC fights are on and usually right before the big knock out and I end up missing the ...

            At this time I would like to wish all of our Advance blog readers a joyous and peaceful Holiday Season.  I hope that every one of you enjoy a prosperous and healthy New Year.             It has been very enjoyable writing these ...

  Happy Fall, fellow bloggers!  Brrrr...I have finally switched the summer clothes (oh, how I love them!) for the warm, cozy fall and winter ones (oh, how I NEED them!).  Actually, to be more accurate, my husband did the switching since our clothes are stored in the attic.  There was a time when I could have done this myself; ...

  Good day, everyone!  I hope you are all keeping warm (no comment from you all in the perpetually warm climates!).  Keeping warm...now there's a challenge!  I have lived in cold climates for the majority of my life, which began in Rome, New York.  I remember the snow blizzard of '62 (that's 1962 for all of you born ...

Hello!  I trust that all is well with you and yours and that you are beginning to accept that Fall is upon us - fallen upon us???  I'm not complaining, really.  If there wasn't a fall and winter, what would I do with all those warm clothes?  In any case, the colder weather provides even more time to spend reading. Just ...

           News from some of the town hall meetings that have been happening around the country reminds me of the Vietnam War protests of the late 60's. Large organized groups of people protesting issues with proposed government actions. There were protesters carrying signs with defaced pictures of ...

I know I owe another blog on feeding and eating issues but I have been helping out some families lately with finding information on advocates and support groups.  I have stumbled upon a wonderful Web site and wanted to share it with you as I know it will be a valuable resource for us as therapists and the families we work with.  I will ...

My husband and I have different perspectives on our four-year-old's wardrobe.  I'm with my children pretty much 24/7.  There are four of them and one of me; saying ''No,'' gets exhausting.  Consequently, Jake's clothing choices have to be utterly hideous for me to protest.  My husband is far more fashion conscious than I and ...
