In this episode of Mother’s Guide Through Autism, Brigitte Shipman and her son Joseph Shipman have a discussion about what Block Therapy and Fost Forward Therapy were like for him. Joseph shares what he remembers of his experience.
Joseph also shares how deviation from a routine in his childhood felt like a computer crashing and how crucial it was to hear his mom say she was proud of him.
Brigitte and Joseph talk about the importance of transition time and how patience is key in raising a child with autism.

Block Therapy: To remind when we did this therapy with Joseph it was experimental. The only resource we had at that time was a Neurologist who did brain injury research. There is no exact method that we did that I could find a website for this therapy. This is recent research to take a look at today: Neuroptimize-Reward, Strengthen, Rebuild- neuroptimizeco.com
