Guest guest Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Wish we could do that nationwide. Would benefit all children and the ever increasing numbers of ASD kids...our school in New Jersey is getting really concerned because they have autism classrooms, allergy classroom and even their typical classrooms have kids with focus issues.
