Tonight Coach B was talking about someone's blog where they had an autistic student successfully using the genius ladder! I'd love to read about it. Please pass along the link!

I know Rebecca has a severely autistic student. I'm not sure if she's who Coach B was talking about, but here is the link to her blog:

Allison,
It was my autistic student that has been successful with the genius ladder. I posted about it under Genius Ladder, must share. It has been awesome. He is echolalic and will typically answer a question only when given a yes/no prompt. I didn't work with him last year, but his personal care aid said that she is amazed at his improvement. I don't know that I will get him writing this year, but if I can get him to continue participating, use eye contact, and answer questions, then I will feel like I made progress. I will keep you posted on the forum as to how he is doing.
