Ginger bread cookies

By -

3 cups flour-sorghum flour,Sunira foods
¼ th Baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2tsp ground ginger
1tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
1/4th cup olive oil+2 tablespoon (This is a substitute for butter in the original recipe). I have used extra virgin olive oil
½ cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg
2/3 cups organic molasses/Jaggery. I have used organic jaggery granules and made the syrup mixing it with water and heating over medium flame to get the consistency
Cream the sugar and olive oil until well combined. Add the egg and molasses beat till fluffy. Gradually add the flour mixture with the spices, soda and salt. Blend the ingredients well. Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and leave overnight. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough out and use a cookie cutter. Bake for 8-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. I went wrong twice once with the quantity of ginger, adding a little extra. It leaves a very strong ginger flavor. The second time around the dough was a little sticky after refrigeration Again; the cookies did not come out well. After all, one learns by one’s mistake. It is better to have tried and repented rather than not having tried at all. Sounds cliché. LOL

Let me warn you in the beginning, this is a long post. Bangalore-- schools As for the schools we visited we first went to Bubbles run by Sarbani Mallick.  This is in Govindraj nagar. (9845557115). It is more of an activity centre where children go after school hours with more emphasis on social and play skills. This academic session, they plan to run a school. They focus on games that promote functional academics. It can be a starting point for early intervention from where the child can move on. The school timings would be 9.30-12.00 .The next were a group of schools on the Sarjapur road; Greenwood high, Inventure academy. It is a huge waste of tim

Augmentative communication

By -
When I started out with PECS ,my mother was very apprehensive that it could impair his speech development.So are may people. My mother had her rationale to it.She felt if one makes it very easy to demand things with picture cards, why should he bother to talk?We have been assured over and over again by therapists whenever we use any aided communication,either verbal behaviour/ PECS, it doesn't stop him from talking. When you give a picture card for water,you stress on the word every time he demands for water.There are no substitutes for talking but these are crutches in some sense,it lowers the child's frustration and gives him an opportunity to communicate.
