Playworks
This is the link to a Yahoo mailing list on Floortime. Cindy Harrison, one of my colleagues on the ICDL faculty, established this list 5 years ago. She is a Speech Pathologist in Canada who has also used the DIR model with her own son for several years. Most of the postings are from parents of kids with ASD... You can set the mailing list to "digest" so that you only receive one email per day.

Autism awareness wristband
Playworks

We bought 20 of these if any of our parents would like one...
Any one of those groups to whom we can designate the $2.00/bracelet donation is great...though we're of course big fans of The Floortime Foundation.

Charity
Playworks
Dear Playworks parents,
In working with the kids in Friends Group on concepts related to understanding the perspectives of others, considering needs vs. wants, and expressing gratitude, we've decided to set up a holiday project in which we are collecting new, unwrapped gifts for a local charity serving disadvantaged children.
Over the next couple weeks, some of our kids will be decorating handprints in which they (or we) write something for which they are thankful. Those leaves will go on a "giving tree." They will also brainstorm lists of items that would be appropriate gifts (needs and wants) for other kids of varying ages (infancy-12). Those gift ideas will be transferred to simple paper ornaments that will be hung on the tree. Some of the gift ideas will be extravagant and not particularly realistic (e.g., monster truck, XBox, trip to Hawaii, etc.), but we will use all of the ideas in our discussion of related concepts.
Although it is completely optional, we would encourage families who are able/interested to choose an ornament and engage your child in the process of choosing a gift for another child. We will collect all the toys and have them ready for delivery by Friday, December 17th, 2004. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know. Thanks so much! Kelli et al
