Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yes! That's Jo! She and her family moved down to Atlanta back in August. She joined the Floortime Atlanta group. Her son with autism recently got his driver's license. did a presentation at Georgia Tech back in the spring talking about that milestone. It was pretty funny.

I used to see a social worker with the same name a few years ago when I lived in VA. My daughter was going through therapy at The Spectrum Center at that time & she led a parent group there. She was so wonderful and I believe had an older son with Autism. Anyway just curious if it may be the same person.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Wow, small world! I know the last time I met with her (going on close to 3 years ago) she was sharing all the progress her son had made & it was very inspirational. At that time we were just looking into moving to GA & she gave me the names of a few contacts here in the Atlanta area. She's such a great person!! I don't know if she'll remember my name since she met with so many parents there, but please tell her Wendie Horack from The Spectrum Center said hello. She may remember our story more so than my name. Tell her I was the mom with twin daughters who both made huge amounts of progress while doing Tomatis therapy at Spectrum.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Mike, Good luck with finishing up school & the internship. Floortime was the first therapy we did with my daughter when she was two & newly diagnosed. We were living in the D.C. suburbs at the time so we had access to some great floortime people. I think the Floortime approach is wonderful & taught me a lot on how to interact with my daughter. At that time I was lost because she couldn't communicate at all & had one tantrum after another all day. I was so surprised at the difference Floortime made for our whole family.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks! I really appreciate your good wishes. Floortime has had a pretty profound affect in our lives too. Enough that I'm changing careers to try to help make the same difference in the lives of others.
