We participated in a local autism awareness walk. This was the first time for our family to do this! I wish we hadn’t waited so long because it was a positive family day. Continue reading

Practical Tip #35 – Hands-On Museums
Our Tristan is very curious and loves to touch everything. It is just where he is at developmentally.
We have found that hands-on museums are a Tristan family-friendly activity.
We took a trip to the Curious Kids’ Museum in St. Joesph, Michigan.
When we entered the museum, I said to Tristan, “At this place, you can touch everything.”
At the physical disability awareness station, Tristan thought it was a fun game to sit in the wheelchair and circle the ramps.
The giant Lite-Brite station was a huge hit because he was gifted with one this past Christmas. He understood the activity. Tristan loves when items are larger or smaller than the usual size.
We played hard for about 90 minutes and then it was time to exit.
It was a great family day!
