What I was told about Jaxson…
• Diagnosis: Autism
• He would never: Talk
• He would never: Look at me
• He would never: Have any friends
• The best I could do:
– Get him to eat with a spoon and fork
– Have him potty-trained by the time he was 8 years
old
– Get him ready for a group home
• “Once a duck, always a duck.”
What I did…
Where I am today:
– Trained in the Wilbarger Protocol (sensory integration
therapy)
– Trained in the Alert Program (sensory integration therapy)
– Bone Conduction Provider for The Listening Program®
(auditory integration therapy)
– Certified as a Body Ecologist – The Body Ecology Diet
– Knowledgeable and have tried with my son the following
diets: GF/CF, SCD and GAPS
– HANDLE® – Holistic Approach to Neurodevelopment and Learning
Efficiency
• Now Jaxson:
– Talks in full, clear, 5 to 6-word sentences
– Sings with me
– Laughs and does things to be funny
– Looks at me and make silly faces
– Calls my name and tells me he loves me
