Epictetus Said...

Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak.

This quote really got me thinking about "listening".  Listening is something good to do, but when it comes to children (special needs or not), it is not always about what is heard.  "Listen" to what is not being said.  "Listen" as you watch the actions of your children.  

When it comes to a child with Autism, and other disabilities, you need to "Listen" to their behavior.  "Listen" to their reactions.  Everything is communication, we need to learn how to LISTEN to them!
