Play Tip!
Pegboards are basic toys for practically all kids. Fitting a peg into a matching space is a very satisfying feeling. This exceptional pegboard has more possible play activities then the average. The "double" peg system facilitates interesting colour and size matching games. I love that the two kinds of pegs need different levels of fine motor skills, making this a toy that kids can grow with. Good for children with visual impairments as well.

Teaching Facial Expressions to Children With Autism and PDD with Smart Alex
Trying saying one name for each emotion Smart Alex shows, and then use the same word and show the same emotion at appropriate times during your time away from the computer. Setting up a mirror near the computer can be a good way to practice smiling, frowning and other expressions as well.
