More resources in Bengaluru

Here is the list of two more schools in Bengaluru send to me by another parent.  The schools are near the Thippasandara area. One is kara4kids and  the other Geethanjali Montessori Both offer integrated programs, kara4kids is really expensive . There are however no therapies in Geetanjali The staff here have dealt with autistic kids.  Also check out my earlier posts on schools in bengaluru .                               He also recommends another app for the i-pod First words Delux which his son loves. Here are the links to two websites that have a wealth of information http://www.autism-pdd.net/ . http://www.possibilitiesunlimited.in/ . The second website is oriented towards education of special children                      This is yet another link to a blog where a mother raises not one, not two but five autistic children http://survivingmotherhood-mom26children.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2010-01-01T00:00:00-06:00&updated-max=2011-01-01T00:00:00-06:00&max-results=22

Welcome 2011

This is wishing all readers a wonderful 2011.   After a hectic holiday in Kerala in Dec -2010,     2011 seemed to have started on a good note. To start with Ramam has an ayurvedic dosage regimen in place. I decided to go to Kotatakal arya vaidyashala after reading Krishnan Narayanan’s Autistic musings. This is his second innings with ayurveda. The good thing about kotakkal is that they have an extensive distribution system so I can probably buy their medicines at their Jayanagar branch in Bangalore. I understand they have something big in Delhi too.                                       The second exciting thing at the moment is   proloquo 2 go which as their ad goes is AAC (augmentative alternative communication) in your pocket . Developed by professionals it is a complete package. Of course, my husband gets all the credit for the research he has done online. As I write this post I am trying to make a brave attempt to analyze the apps available as I am not a very tech savvy person.
