Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) / Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) Therapies

July 24, 2017September 20, 2017 themuddypath 1 Comment Therapies

Think back to when you were a child. Most of us can’t remember when we were toddlers, but most can remember maybe back to Kindergarten or preschool. What were your days and weekends like? I know for me it was a LOT of playing. I could play alone by myself or with a friend or […]

Music Therapy

July 17, 2017September 20, 2017 themuddypath Leave a comment Beyond the Spectrum, Therapies

I don’t know about you, but when I hear a beat – I’m a toe tapper! I’m one of those people who even at a symphony concert can’t … sit… still. And even though I took many years of piano lessons was never very good and the same goes with my dance skills! However, there […]

Biomed – Biomedical Treatments for Autism

July 10, 2017August 31, 2017 themuddypath Leave a comment Therapies

A term that will often come in up in circles of parents with children with ASD is “Biomedical treatments” or “Biomed” for short. So if you’re a parent to a child with a new diagnosis I will explain a little bit of our experience and what it means to our family. For our family perhaps […]

Sensory Integration Therapy

July 3, 2017August 31, 2017 themuddypath Leave a comment Beyond the Spectrum, Therapies

When you think about it we ALL have some sort of sensory issues. Personally, I can’t stand the smell of most perfumes and had to hold my breath and run through the fragrance sections of the department stores when I was a kid. At home, I hated going into the bathroom after mom had gotten […]

It’s something you lose over time, but should you?

June 27, 2017October 14, 2017 themuddypath Leave a comment Uncategorized

The other day I was out checking out my garden.  For the second year in a row, I have been really late planting.  I mean so late that I often wonder if I will be doing the first harvest during the first snowfall!  So I kinda get obsessed with checking the beds where all my […]

Where the heck have I been the past few years?

June 26, 2017September 10, 2017 themuddypath Leave a comment Beyond the Spectrum

I was not off to a good start to blogging eh? What a lousy start. A couple of posted blogs and then nothing. Then the writing slowed down and a few never even got posted. I came to the place where blogs shrivel up and die. Or did I?? The answer is two parts. I […]

It’s the Little Things… Oskar

June 15, 2017October 14, 2017 themuddypath Leave a comment Uncategorized

There are times with Oskar’s home therapy that I think nothing is working.  I’m constantly reading up on things and have a million books with some highlighter and folded over corners (that’s how I mark my pages). But his progress is often so much slower than Ted that I’m never quite sure what is working until […]

Oh, the bad days…

March 20, 2017October 14, 2017 themuddypath Leave a comment Uncategorized

We are sort of in a period right now where some weeks we have more bad days with Oskar than good.  It was actually worse a few months back with weeks and weeks straight of daily meltdowns, often multiple meltdowns in a day.  That’s some crazy hell… he’s happy momentarily then crying, then screaming, then crying, then […]

The Big “A”

September 16, 2014September 20, 2017 themuddypath Leave a comment Uncategorized

The Big “A” It was over 7 years ago that my first son was given the Big “A” label, autism spectrum disorder.  He was 18 months at the time.  Although it was a shock, it was also a relief as he had been born with two severely clubbed feet – something the doctors and geneticists […]

Squish, squish, squish!

Reflecting on the wet, cool summer and what we’ve accomplished so far. Gardening, tackling the swamp cedars and making a play area for the kids… keeping them busy!
