Just in Time for Wedding Season!
From Cary Martinez :  REPLY  
Enjoy a relaxing evening of live jazz guitar, while sipping a glass of wine and watching a movie under the stars on Friday, March 22 at 8 pm. This month, we're featuring Made of Honor.

Make Sense
From Anonymous:  REPLY 
I am the mother of a very active almost-four-year-old. I have been doing some research and think he may be sensory seeking to the point of having Sensory Processing Disorder. Do you have experience with this? What were the signs that led you to the diagnosis? Do you have a recommendation for an occupational therapist or someone who can do an evaluation? Your feedback is much appreciated.


Live and Learn
From Anonymous:  REPLY 
I am the parent of a child with dyslexia and ADHD. While I feel that we have made progress with the interventions we have chosen, I would love to hear from other JABBERS about their experiences. With so many different types of interventions available such as diet, medication, acupuncture and various educational programs, I want to know if there is anything that made a big difference in your child's ability to learn. I look forward to hearing from you.
