Ethan

March 28, 2006

We have the same issues as you do. Elie will do many things for his

habilitation specialist - including working for over 2 hours straight

carrying luggage! At home he can't even make his bed. At school in

workshop, he works barely 45 minutes without bribes. Many days he will not

work at all - just flat out refuses. Yet he can sort laundry at home (never

at school) and put his clothes away (after unfolding each piece), carry

sheetrock for construction - 4X 8 pieces alone!

Elie has 4 sibs - Rhonda is 38 Phd curriculum specialist, Alan 38, married,

teaches graphic arts in a hs, Robbyn, 35married, with daughter Maya, age 18

mo. pediatric OT - specialist in sensory integration., Aviram 32,

webdesigner, computer layout planner.

We are moving to GA and retiring and we will be looking for work training

for Elie there.

Sara - Choose to make lemonade, not complain about the lemons.
