Hi Everyone, I am thrilled to announce that our much-awaited product Choiceworks System is now available. My son has benefited so much from the visual supports that I have made him over the years that other parents and staff from his school asked me to make visual supports for them. This led me to create the Choiceworks System. (http://www.asperger.net/bookstore_9728.htm)

Visual supports can be very powerful! By increasing a child's understanding, they can reduce anxiety, and diminish inappropriate behaviors, making for a happier and more productive situation all around.

My goal was to create something that was simple for both the child and the adult to use. While giving you everything you need to get started, the Choiceworks System is designed to be flexible so you can customize it to a particular child's needs or wants.

Hello There!

From the moment I stepped into the special ed. resource room back in the early '90's as an instructional aide, my life altered dramatically. The fifteen kids in that classroom soon came to look to me for guidance, advice and love. The second I realized this, teaching academic fundamentals took a distant second place.

Often, as I wrote my nonfiction newspaper articles on the side, I wondered if my words would have any meaningful impact on readers. But once I realized a novel that I passionately believed in was incubating in my soul, I stopped writing my articles and dedicated myself to Running on Dreams. (http://www.asperger.net/bookstore_9972.htm) It was, after all, my dreams I was pursuing as well. (read more by Herb Heiman...) http://www.asperger.net/aapc_authors_herb_heiman_letter.htm
