As part of a series I've been writing
on teaching children who have disabilities,
I have a new article up on the Literature, Arts & Medicine website.
It's about magic boxes and poetry and autism and spring.
Check it out: here.
And if you have a second, leave a comment.

I was once privileged to see Temple Grandin, PhD,( with autism) speak at a conference about Autism. She said, “All my thinking is visual, like videos played in my imagination.” I wish my students with autism and indeed, my very own godson/nephew could one day exhibit an “awakening” and tell us what’s really going on. If only it were that easy! My students are lucky enough to work with the author of this article. We affectionately call her “Nicole-the-Poet.” She does incredible exercises in our classrooms and encourages our students to share their creative thoughts and processes. There are no right or wrong answers in Nicole’s poetry lessons! Every idea is valued and accepted. It is too sad that outside of Nicole’s classroom, our children with autism, are otherwise being told that most times they are wrong.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, i love nicole-the-poet AND linsey!
