These cute, individually handmade fabric turtles are filled with pea gravel and weigh between 3½ and 4½ pounds each. When placed on the lap, the deep pressure provides a relaxing sensation while maintaining a constant tactile reminder when it’s time to sit still. If a child stands up, the turtle
begins to slide and the child has an instant nonverbal reminder to remain seated. These turtles promote relaxation and can be enjoyed by children and adults. Each handmade; fabric pattern will vary.

Our Weighted Turtles are a big success, and very popular, but we have had some people asking if they come in larger sizes for their older children. Well, turtles can only grow to be so large, so we are introducing our “lap” cats. All are hand sewn. Weigh approximately 6 pounds. Handmade, fabric color & pattern will vary. (Officially proclaimed “adorable” by our daughters Beckie and Beth!)

A creative in-depth encounter with natural science from a biblical perspective.  Adaptable for Second to Seventh Grade. A gigantic 272-page book plus Teacher’s Manual with free audio CD!

Student workbook has tear-out pages for each lesson that can be colored in.

Considering God’s Creation an elementary earth and life science program that was born out of our desire to introduce our own children to the Creator through His creation. We wanted them to have more than just information and facts about the world around them, so that they could make some of the spiritual connections that Jesus so often pointed out in nature. For example, when we study plants and are out working in the garden, it is a perfect opportunity to talk about how God provides for all His creation, to tell the story of the sower and the seeds, to talk about reaping what we sow, and to discuss how we will be known by our fruits.

We also wanted to teach our children to absolutely love science and to become scientist detectives. We wanted them to be able to accurately describe different kinds of plants and to classify them in the appropriate categories.

Each lesson begins with preparation directions . Then the vocabulary words are listed, with the meanings and language roots included. An introduction follows that is to be read aloud. Many of the lessons include a song which covers scientific definitions set to original music, but also have  a spiritual application. Then an activity helps the student to further understand the concept. A Bible reading focuses on what God is teaching us about Himself through that particular aspect of creation. Then the children work individually on their notebooks. These pages are designed to be discovery pages, with pop-up windows, books within books, and all sorts of really neat kids stuff. You would then follow up with “Evolution Stumpers”, review questions, and perhaps something from the “Digging Deeper” section.

With her beautiful voice and guitar, she gently leads the participants through the basic writing movements: down, up, across, and around (circle). , workbook and storybook included in each kit.

These sturdy, portable air cushion disks fit on top of a chair and allow for comfort and in-seat movements. Great for the child who needs to wiggle around yet remain seated in a designated spot.

Written primarily for parents of children who have newly been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. It is especially a great resource for the preschool through elementary school years. The book draws from the author’s personal experience both as the mom of a son with Asperger Syndrome and her study of and work with children and adolescents with special needs. The result is a practical guide, written for other Aspie parents in a clear, concise, and sometimes humorous tone.
This user-friendly book leaves no stone unturned, as it explains, in a friendly, familiar voice, situations and issues that all parents with an AS child will encounter at one point or another. Above all else, the book arms parents with basic, sound information empowering them to seek out the very best services and programs for their child. From dealing with sensory issues and bullying to staying on top of homework, The Mom’s Guide to Asperger Syndrome and Related Disorders offers easy-to-use suggestions. The Mom’s Guide to Asperger Syndrome and related disorders should be used as a practical, valuable reference throughout the years.

Research suggests an early start is the key to a successful intervention for children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. What many don’t know is that research also shows that for most early intervention programs to be effective, they must involve a child’s primary caregivers, especially when it comes to such an all-pervasive area as communication. This book does not advocate that parents steer clear of therapists and specialists. Instead, it attempts to put more control in the parents’ hands.
Without adding to parents’ already busy schedules, Teresa Cardon, a speech language pathologist and author of best-selling Let’s Talk Emotions,
discusses the importance of creating a communication environment in the home. Simple everyday tools include deliberate use of books, toys, visual schedules, and labeling, among others.
If your child is currently receiving several therapies, or if you are trying on your own to help encourage and foster communication interactions
with your child, take the tools you find helpful in this book and make sure that a “family-centered” approach is part of your weekly regime.

The latest in the Practical Solutions series, this book, written by the mother of three children with autism spectrum disorders, targets, with a balance of heart-warming and belly-aching humor and practical tools, the major challenges families face in creating a comfortable environment for every family member.

Children and youth with Asperger Syndrome, high-functioning autism (HFA), and pervasive developmental disorders-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and related exceptionalities have great potential, but all too often their abilities are not realized. Simple Strategies that Work! provides ideas and suggestions that teachers can use to help a student with AS/HFA on the road to success. The book discusses problems that arise in the classroom and how teachers can adjust the classroom to accommodate, while not interfering with normal classroom routines. Not bogged down with jargon, the book includes tables and boxes for quick reference and clear meaning.
Also included is information on what can cause anxiety for the AS/HFA student, how this can lead to decreased academic and social performance, decreased attention to task, and potential increases in behavior problems, and what the teacher can do to assist.

This book offers practical suggestions and advice for how to teach and learn those subtle messages that most people pick up almost automatically but that have to be directly taught to individuals with social-cognitive challenges, including those on the autism spectrum. Given the serious consequences that can befall a person who violates a social rule, the strategies and detailed lists of curriculum items make this a much-needed resource.
