Jeannie and Max ended the school year by visiting each classroom where we were invited and reading a book to the class. Max wore a backpack full of candy that he made available to each child as he circulated down the rows of classroom seats.
Max was also invited into Nancy Sutton’s 3rd grade class in the Ben Hill Elementary School. A short ebook was written about this experience and posted on the blog and linked below.

Jeannie Bolstridge and the therapy dog Max have been successfully meeting an hour daily in school with a child with Autism. This four month project has drawn so much positive attention amongst teachers who know this child that the child’s mom had Max written into her child’s IEP. The Marcus Autism Center was contacted and wrote goals for this child’s IEP that included the therapy dog. You can find these goals now on the linked blog post Marcus Autism Center’s Goals for Child’s IEP.

Jeannie Bolstridge begun work to make a resource of apps for children. Many apps were downloaded and tried with parents and teachers who I met while volunteering daily at the primary school during the 2009-2012 school years. These resource pages were initially found on the tutoringgreatkids.org blog. In 2012 a blog-audio series was begun for the parents and teachers’ added convenience of listening to the material. These resource pages can now be found as blog posts with SoundCloud audio at the following addresses:
50 Web-based educational apps
Math apps for the iPad-iPhone-iPod
ELA (English Language Arts) apps for the iPad,iPhone,iPod
Math and English apps for Android devices
Review of Mobile Devices for Educational apps
The above links contain suggestions for educational iOS device apps, Android apps, and Kindle apps. There were also web apps listed for those kids who are more comfortable using the mouse than the touch screen.
