Props to Google Images

FROM KATRINA: Hello all you fun-loving people out there. I wanted to share a tool that we use a lot a lot a lot a lot (that's a lot of a lots) in the Son-Rise Program at the Autism Treatment Center of America, and that is...(drumroll)... Google Images. I love Google Images! I am so addicted to it for themes that I am not sure I could have worked in the 90's when Google Images wasn't around (just kidding).

For those of you who do not know what I am talking about. Google Images is a branch of the popular search engine Google. You can find it here. All you have to do is type in a word and it will show you millions of pictures relating to that word (here is an example of a Wombat from Google Images - isn't it cute?). It makes preparing a theme so easy. For example, let's say your child likes Sponge Bob. All you do is type in Sponge Bob characters and you get a gagillion spongebob and friend pictures, print them out and stick them around the room. Then give your child rides on a blanket and pick up all of your Sponge Bob friends - sooo easy, and only one idea of a google :)

There, I gave the secret to our facilitation away - it's all in Google Images baby! Okay, there might be more to our facilitation than that - maybe you should come to our Son Rise Program Maximum Impact advanced training course in a few weeks to hear more!!!

Have fun looking up pictures!
Love,
Katrina
