We use simple strategies, such as schedules, to create more joyful and productive days that Jacob needs to be happy and confident. Let me share a little about the story behind “Educating Jacob.” It’s the story of a boy who grew into a young man and his struggles with family, school, and social life. As his mom, our purpose with this endeavor is to help you understand what has worked for us so that your struggles can be alleviated faster than ours were. A special education degree is unnecessary; you can become the best mom and teacher ever! We aim to help you rid your family or class of the chaos, self-doubt, and frustration many of us feel daily. Enjoy your home and classroom again, relax, and let them learn!
