• Educating/Connecting with new mothers/even grandmothers that need resources or place to turn to when facing the charge of preparing/caring for a special needs blessing child and maybe also sandwiched with the responsibility of primary care giver to a parent.

• Health Literacy %%%%%%There is plenty I can work with here.

  I will do it in the way of a newsletter and website.  I want to be a success so my date to launch is set for 1/1/2014.

Here is the web page address to the employee directory of Health and Human Services.  This includes the CDC, NIH, SAMSA, FDA, Institutes of Health and all the rest.  It took me a long time to find this.  I cannot reconstruct the path.  I am quite sure it was an accident that I stumbled across it.  

Directory of Health and Human Services 

http://directory.psc.gov/employee.htm  

         Here is a trick. When you are trying to track down an employee put only 3 or 4 letters of the first name and last name.  You may have to play around with it a little but I promise you can find the email address and more. 

Power that is brokered by the agencies through rules and regulations is staggering.  Change is never fast because of all the firewalls, roadblocks and hiding that go on.  Part of my mission is to break this process down.  Call it an informational enzymatic digestive action working on cyberspace at trans-dimensional warp speed and Scottie in heaven is working on the engines to help us in the endeavor.   So pass it on and let’s take back what so many, including my father, brothers and more have fought to preserve in the form of freedom; even those that are warped with no sense of duty, respect, courtesy or moral aptitude have a right to it.

Use it when lobbying for healthcare change.  I promise the regulations they enact under the power given to them by the government is tremendous.  You have no idea how thankful I am to my parents right now and over the last four and a half years.

This will be long but I have already looked these up.  I am not going to do anything until after the election with respect to some personal issues I want to work on due to the fact that I am lazy and don’t want to do the same thing twice.

Horror stories,

And all the worries!

What age?

Often told to cage,

Our child

Way too too wild.

He won’t talk!

People like and can only stop; balk and gawk.

No life,

Will you ever have; but one filled with strife!

Oh! What experts don’t know,

Can and often does hurt. Blatantly blow 

Experts say, “Parents have no insight!”*

“Heck quite could be source influence in biting!”*

It is ‘bout time.

So Sublime.

Mom’s and Dad’s finally get real and;

“TELL IT ONCE AND FOR AUTISM!”

Big OPPS! Seems were not quite real.

Only a bit surreal.

Time to bid the kids a voice.

Let them have some choice.

How could we forget?

It is for these kids.

We fight so much on ism’s; The kids too need to,

‘TELL IT ONCE AND FOR AUTISM!”

**Wanda Draper Ph.D exempt from expert list along with few others but she tops the list. This is not a marketing tool but a true from the heart opinion. She is well aware how I fell about her knowledge and ability to use the parents input to help better the outcome for the children (maybe improper but I say kids).

Part II review of “10 Commandments For Interacting With Kids On The Autism Spectrum And Related Commandments,” will be done soon. Since I consider the book Gold Standard I want others to get all of the first part. Please!

Mari Nosol writes from the heart to parents and those that need to know what to do. My Gold Gold Standard centers on Wanda Draper and her book “ Your Child is Smarter Than You Think!” Imagine a professional thinking this or parents know a thing or two.

Another person that has written a book getting my Gold Standard approval is “A Matter of Panache: A Career in Public Education, a Traumatic Brain Injury, a Memoir of Surviving Both.” Debra Sanders talks about Video Modeling before there is a real term for it.

For me those on my Gold Standard a common thread is teaching. Time in the classroom as a heartfelt teacher is worth hours of studying. Also, all have a heart the size of the Marina Islands is in beauty!

THOU SHALL NOT YELL WHEN SPEAKING TO ME.
My disability does not impair my hearing and I am extremely bright.

Perhaps even brighter than you are.

THOU SHALL NOT IGNORE ME TALK NEGATIVELY
ABOUT ME, SPEAK UNNATURALLY SLOW, OR ASK

QUESTIONS TO OTHERS IN THE ROOM THAT

PERTAIN TO ME.

THOU SHALL BELIEVE IN ME AND HELP ME
BELIEVE IN MY SKILLS AND SELF WORTH. NOTE

THE GOOD IN ME AND DO NOT MERELY POINT

OUT MY NEGATIVE BEHAVIORS.

Believe in me and I will believe in myself.

THOU SHALL NOT PERCEIVE ME AS DUMB.
I am extremely intelligent. I do not learn in the same way as you, and

maybe not as quickly as you expect me to. Have patience with me.

Once I recall information, I never forget.

THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE MY BEHAVIOR
I can get overstimulated in certain environments. I maybe hypersensitive

to sound and loud noises may hurt my ears. Fluorescent lights are

distracting for me. Thea have a humming noise and can pulsate. All the

noises in a room can blur together. Please make accommodations to

help me.

******All of the above come from the book(pages 12 and 13) Ten Commandments Of interacting with Kids On The Autism Spectrum And Related Commandments by Mari Nosal.

Now it is time to inventory my parental behavior after seventeen years.

Commandments

Of course I have yelled. I am human. I try not and will try even harder. Like the Ten Commandments, it is hard for anyone to be perfect. The point I am taking away from this is if you are doing it all the time and never make an effort there needs to be huge changes. I try very hard and still have to watch very hard. It is not an easy task. I hope this book does for you what I wish I had known. Maybe then my learned behavior wouldn’t be like kicking smoking.
Guilty. Still do this some. Yet, did a lot when he was a child. I think most parents do this out of concern and love instead of malice. Again, younger parents and teachers take the advice and wisdom.
I always believed in my son. Careful though with all those extra therapies. My son Tanner asked, “Mom how stupid do you think I am?” He thought I pictured him as dumb and needed to fix him. I told him that I had problems when I was younger and I didn’t get help. I told him I was trying to give him something I didn’t get to help me with the stress and strain. Perceptions and Deceptions a slight tongue imbalance but oh how the emotions roll off so different!.
See 3 tis the same to me.
Guilty again. I defer a little here. I say these kids need to be held to a same high standard. One has to get to know these kids well while working with to figure out when they are playing you and not. I know I have seen my son play reading on 4th grade level and finally nailed him this summer on 11th grade using a MicroSoft 2010 Grade Reading Readability Calculator. He still tried to wiggle out but now I have him in a regular History Class. The school provided a one on one aide without me throwing a fit. The schools have always been great when it comes to my son. Maybe a couple of minor things but the schools rule for me.
OVER ALL IT IS TIME TO BUY THIS BOOK...ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNGER MOMS. SHORT STORY TIME TOO.

My son used to scream loud and piercing in the car. I would pull over and check on him. One automatic act was to turn off the radio. When he got older and put two words together he said, “Music Off!” By Ollamok

dad mom
tmwc5juesus?
20131001_194925_resizedTHOU SHALL NOT BE SO QUICK TO SCOLD ME.

Do not tell me that “I know what I did.” I do not. Tell me what my infraction was in

simple, concise manner. I want to please you, but I have difficulties inferring

meaning within a vague statement. For instance, do not say please clean up your

bedroom.Tell me Exactly what you want, such as “Please make your bed and pick up

your toys.”

THOU SHALL NOT COMPARE ME TO OTHERS.

Please remind me and note the talents I possess. This increases my confidence

and positive self worth. Learning disabled or not, we ALL have talents to contribute

within society. I need you to help me realize what mine is. Believe in me and I will

believe in myself.

THOU SHALL NOT EXCLUDE ME FROM ACTIVITIES.

Please do not mimic me, ignore me or bully me. Please invite me to play with you. It

hurts when I am excluded. I like to run and jump in the playground, and be invited to

birthday parties too. Grownups can help me make friends by encouraging other

children to play with me. I can be a loyal friend if you get to know me.

THOU SHALL GIVE ME CHOICES

I do not like being ordered about any more than the other children. Give me choices

so I know you value my capabilities and opinions. Make them simple and concise.

Present two options or so. I get confused when too many questions or directions are

given at one time due to my processing speed. For instance, ask me if I would like

to wear my blue sweater or green one, rather than asking which sweater I would like

to wear.

THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE ME BY MY DIAGNOSIS, BUT MY CHARACTER.

I am an individual, just like other children. As my son used to say, “Mom my name

is John (name changed for anonymity) not Aspergers.” A profound statement

would say. :-0)

As a mom that really tries. My therapist says, “I way over compensate for my son!”

(I will share his name but you must see or find it in my post “My get away if” @http://ollamok.com/2013/09/15/my-get-away-if-written-7-26-13-by-ollamok-2/)

Here are my personal ties to these thoughtful Commands of Mari Nosal’s.

I am guilty of this quite a lot. But then again my son has hidden his talents quite well.

Recently I discovered I was right about his reading level or understanding being

much higher. Yet, was until recent a provider put things in to a term or used concrete

adjectives that brought clarity to me. This provider said his anxiety will make him

function at ( I know many do not like these words but they exist and carry a meaning

that is clear. To be clear I hate the words myself because I see that those on the

spectrum are treated this way when they are often smarter than a person assessing

them. I have often been treated this way. I either get real mad or think they are

ignorant and go on. That is harder to do when it deals with a passion of helping

those in society that are the most vulnerable. If not for my son, I would go crawl into

a think tank organization and forget this stuff) M. R level. Because I know my son

and this has been proven again and again, I fail on this in many ways. I struggle with

this where my husband is much better. It is frustrating for my son I know. Why?

Because I have to stop people and slow them down. However, when I do slow

people down and they get I care; they tended to come back to me and forever or a

long time. I could say much more but this is all I will except be patient with these

blessings from God. It is hard mom’s and dad’s I know. I will have to be mindful of

this till the day I die.

I do this and then I don’t. When my son says my parents didn’t are he shouldn’t do something; I do lots of reminding. I tell him I don’t care what he wants to do. I only want to make sure he has a job doing something he likes that he can make enough money at it. I tell him I could spend time doing something else besides a lot of time in him. I told him I don’t because I love him. Parents that care and take parenting serious do this. I tell him God does this for all those he loves and parents do the same. He will say he can’t are those that have special needs more or less shouldn’t have to do this. I quote and make an example of his favorite person on Earth at this moment. His Grandma Mallo! By gracious! She is 85 with one leg shorter than the other and a Club Foot. Special Needs this and that programs? Where were they then? Well for one there was the Shriner’s Hospital’s! Besides that she had to do most things on her own with the grace and help of God. She worked her whole life. She sacrificed for her four children. This shuts up a child that wants to get by using his disability as a crutch. I am the hard one in the parent chain. My husband is the softy. Being on the same page or closer might be better. I try harder and pray about this often. I am thankful to a case manager of sorts Dr. Samuel Oliphant. Before my wreck I had little time to find things like the Oklahoma Autism Network and other. That is why I want to write and inform others. We are missing a complete audience of people still going it alone.

I would say I never excluded Tanner from an activity. If anything I drug him to too

many. Accepting that he isn’t as extroverted as me; by a person I will be grateful to

forever and still seek her guidance from OKAY pointed this out to me. I do not see

this in myself; I mean being outgoing. I can see that my husband is much closer to

Tanner in the social quietness section termed introvert by this person I owe so much.

I have to do more of letting Tanner be Tanner. He doesn’t have to do everything to

be more social. I know he needs to be but he doesn’t enjoy it so stepping back a

bit might be wise.

9. I try to do this with Tanner. But, as a parent, I have to see that I expose and push

him out of the nest. Giving him choices I do. I forget sometimes that he is a teen,

seventeen. He is capable of all that I say but I keep pushing on and on treating him

as if he a child. Then again, my mother still introduces me as her baby. Therefore,

it could be the natural order of things. Should I get down on myself too much or

continue to try to do better?

I wouldn’t say I judge people by their diagnosis at all. If anything I might over

explain them by their diagnosis. Guilty of doing this with my son. My son may

have perceived this or my spouse but I have never been ashamed of my son. I

have felt blessed by him. Tried by patience with him maybe more so because of a

diagnosis but not about him. I only looked for a diagnosis as a launching pad to

look for things to help and do for him or understanding to get ideas for helping.

Perfect I am not but I try. I hope this has been helpful. I love this book because it hits at the heart of help and core of parenthood. Honesty at the core.

      Perhaps even brighter than you are.

I AM SAYING GO BUY THE BOOK IF YOU NEED HELP IN THIS ARENA. THE PRICE IS EXTREMELY REASONABLE FOR GOOD ADVICE I PAID MORE FOR VERY POOR ADVICE 17 YEARS AGO THAT WAS SO FAR OFF.  I WAS TOLD TO PUT MY SON IN AN INSTITUTION. HE IS DOING GREAT NOW.

Now it is time to inventory my parental behavior after seventeen years.

Hello,

My  son is a 17 year old teenage boy.  I say boy because he has many lessons to learn as I did.  However, he is more polite, tuned in and caring than I was at that age (maybe). 

For sure he is precious in many ways. I am going to take an abbreviated approach.

I.  Linkedin Profile will tell you a lot about myself and goals of forming; for profit, nonprofit and coauthor a book on autism with another mother.

http://reframingresources.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/this-is-childhood-cancer-awarness-month-and-more-health-news-from-ollamok/   *****This has 3 pages from the NIH: one has a downloadable handbook on cancer for kids, a page that tells how to explain cancer to kids and a page that has the latest research on  kid's cancer's.  If you share nothing else please share this one.

These others are good in my opinion too. http://reframingresources.wordpress.com/2013/09/08/true-success/    I think it goes with the  mantra all kids are hero's.

**************************The next two have some good resources; as the bottom one does.  And, the top one is informative on a a Transition project that needs to be dumped or changed.  I want to be fair there is opinion here.  The others above contain little of that.  These below are loaded.  They are statements from the heart. If I am wrong I want to learn about it. Or, if these programs help that much, I want to learn what will ultimately help our kids.  http://reframingresources.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/project-search-or-robbing-disabled-youth-part-i/ http://reframingresources.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/transition-hints-dont-blame-schools-hold-all-accountable/

If you have read this far and want to read for fun here some articles/below or stories some instructors have given me praise on.  If you do not then skip over please.  I do not want to ruin my genuine chance to help for the sake of a chance at networking.  However, it never hurts to try.  Yet, I want you to know what is coming.  Honesty usually pays off in the end.

OKLAHOMA:  A TALE OF TWO TIMES

Finding employment for youth with Autism or any specific need in this area is sometimes a difficult task.  However, I have plenty of ideas that could be forged through employment with partners here in Oklahoma instead of paying the high price of “Oklahoma Project Search.”

My paper hopes an In-depth look at “Oklahoma Project Search,” and the national roots of “Project Search;” will show huge need of programs for youth with disabilities that deliver a program of fulfillment with a better comparative outlook.

Hard questions I produced and sent to the National Project Search program   are seen below from my letter to projectsearch@cchmc.org..

Sandra Adcock August 23, 2013 2:09AMTo: ProjectSEARCH@cchmc.org  cost lisc fee

“I was wondering the cost of licensing fees for each site?

Specifically what it cost the state, say Oklahoma, or school

district, or each agency? Or, do all pay a fee or contribute to

process?Why such high costs for the job coach?Why such

high cost for bonus of employment?Define successful

employment? 3 months?What is the percent success in terms

of (please put for Oklahoma stats if you will)  -

Employment in years in these:     $ amount per hour

$7-$10                    $10-$12      $12-$14

$14-$20                  $20 and above.

Also, what % jobs provide health insurance?”

Instead of the National Project Search in/@ Cincinnati Children’s getting back with me, the local or state head (I think but not sure) in Oklahoma replied back. I was given information about the program but direct questions were not answered.  Or, if they went unanswered the explanation for such was missed on my part.

On Sep 4, 2013, at 1:57 PM, "Goldston, Judi F."  wrote: Hi Sandra: I am the Project SEARCH Statewide Coordinator for Oklahoma. Your information request has been forwarded to me by the National office. My apology for the delayed response.Then the later was writing writing writing.

Ms. Goldston did a nice job of explaining how Project Search did this and that.  How the first  program opened in 2007. She gave me the total of current active sites involved in Project Search.  Says there is a blending of currents and funding.

One answer concerning the license cost for each new site is the cost runs three hundred dollars per year.  This seems and I think is reasonable.  Project Search appears to be touted as Oklahoma’s answer to the problem of finding jobs for those with autism and other disabilities in our current time.

Ms. Goldston said they follow the guidelines of DRS regarding employment success.  From what Ms Goldston wrote to me in the reply, answers from Kimberly Osmani, and others; that success means a person worked for three months.  This is a typical employer’s probationary period.

Project Search follows the school year.  Why is this?  Does this mean OKDRS doesn’t have to follow these people in the summer?  Why would they follow the school year?  Thus, I will assume all stipulations on Voc. Rehab Counselors and Vendor Job Coaches goes through the same time frame of the school year. Does this go for ten months or what happens if a school system now has adopted the year round calendar?  Does this mean the Project Search employees will not go with the year round calendar?

This is one more thought I had and something I want you to hold in your head when I get to the stipulations of wage for the Vocational Rehab Counselor or Job Vendor Salary that comes in the agreement with Project Search, and now I am told many other job vendors or projects.

Now looking at my other questions and the information given; I would say other questions and information I wanted was left unanswered.  The attempt to fulfill my needs was interesting but not worth looking at in my opinion.

Kimberly Osmani told me the successful employment term went for all job vendors in Oklahoma.  The payment for the job coach or vendor was the same as for Project Search.  She may say she mislead me by mistake or I did not follow this highly specific question but I made sure to get the response right.  If what she says is true and we pay all OKDRS Job Vendors and Coaches $1500 for successful employment at and after three months; the program needs to be looked at by the State Senate, Governor and House with a fine tooth comb and mirror.

I asked Osmani, while I had her on the phone today Sept. 16 at close to 5pm in 2012, why at a Transition Workshop if she knew an answer was misleading or not the full intent of the parent, me, wanted in an answer; why she did not correct the answer.  She told me it was not her place or job to do so.  Yet, at workshop put on by the Oklahoma Autism Network where I asked what the prevailing wage was for those in a Sheltered Workshop; a person from OAN went on to make it look like these Workshops were okay because they could theoretically make ten times the prevailing wage.  The simple honest answer would be most often the wage is under the legal minimum wage.  I don’t care what the wage is.  I wanted the common and decent answer.  After all wasn’t the point to education parents on Transition?  Giving full complete honest information is what should happen. If a person from a different department of the state government knows it then say so.  Or, is their job more important than that of those they serve; in this case the most needed and vulnerable members of our society.

Here are specifics from a PDF on Project Search with regard to wage and salary of the Job Coaches.  Remember Osmani told me this went for most OKDRS Vendors.  I will state this an assumption.  It must be the same for OKDHS employment programs which Osmani often teams with to help in the Transition part of her job. Below are the facts from the PDF;

Those that participate in program Project Search are considered “UNPAID INTERNS.’

THE GROUP SPECIFIED AS IN THE CIRCLE;

A SCHOOL

A HOST  BUSINESS

DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION  SERVICES (OKRS)

UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISABILITY EDUCATION AND TRAINING (OU-NCDET) PROVIDER

Each site will have eight to ten students at a site.

School provides:

Full time Teacher’s salary and benefits

Transportation (MAYBE)

Lunches (MAYBE)

Materials and supplies

National Site License

Part of Uniform Expense

Student Liability Expense

OKDRS

Funds for 1 - 2 job coaches

Part of uniform expense

Contract with OU - NCDET for technical           assistance (Why do we pay them this?    What does it cover? You start calling and  asking.   I will provide the phone numbers at the end of this paper)

ROLE OF OU-NCDET

Provide liaison with National Project SEARCH
Assist to identify, connect, and coordinate partners
Assist the team to develop a project plan with timeframes Assist partners with initial steps of implementation Provide ongoing training and technical assistance Evaluate the success of Project SEARCH Maintain model integrity

VOCATIONAL REHAB JOB COACHING AND COUNSELING  EMPLOYMENT MUSTS IN THE ORIGINAL PROJECT SEARCH OR OKDRS DECISION.

“DRS Contract for Job Coaching                                                                    Job coaching only during the school year •$750 per month per student
Prorated if not 70% attendance •Specifies at least $20,000 plus benefits                                                                                   Job coaching plus placement and employment            outcome (REMEMBER THIS DEFINITION IS 90 DAYS)           Also, $775 for placement
And $1,500 for successful employment”

Let’s step into the real world for a few minutes.  Does the definition of three months seem good enough?  Would most employment agencies get this payment?  Are their other ideas that could be found? Glad you asked.  I have been trying for years to get people to listen.  However, that seldom happens.  It does.  Below I want to thank these people that do listen, listen but do not always check to verify it they are right and those that listen beyond the overzealous wounds of a mother that has missed out on resources due to misinformation.

Lisa Graven head of Workforce Oklahoma

Jody Harlan OKDRS

William Ginn at office of Disability Concerns

Joni Bruce with Oklahoma Family Network                                  (Winning a place in my heart forever for help given at certain times)

Judy Pleuss at Oklahoma Autism Network

Dee Blose at Youth and Family Services in El Reno (A Triple Platinum Heart I would give if I could)

Jeanette Doty formally of OU-NCDET and OKAY (SHE WINS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART BECAUSE SHE HELPED HIM GROW.  I did try to as well as my family, provide finical and other support when possible)

Vyonda Martin at OUHSC Center for Learning and Leadership (One of the first to give me a start in public resources that are not specific to lower income families. Platinum Heart is her rating too. There is nothing wrong with low income families but the middle gets left out plenty.)

Part II will look at needs of employers, other programs and supply what I deem to be real answers.

Thank you God my son has Autism only instead of this horrible other.
I never thought in writing, I would be crying. Tears of joy my son on
the spectrum means he will see the complete stream of light ROGBIV. Please
help me write that your might will make these things come to light.

>>>>Go to this page:   http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/coping/youngpeople

The National Cancer Institute will tell you all about it at another page your taxes pay for at this place.

*******Go to this page:   http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Sites-Types/childhood

Now wouldn’t you think they would be letting people know about this page?  I am not going to keep you guessing! If my child had cancer; I would be screaming my ears off why had they not told me about this.

??????Go to the page:  http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Sites-Types/childhood#q6

Now I iz gonna talz like a hic thaz a not sound’n very smartz!  Yet,  I have this information.  All from Yukon, OK.  Where it says it comes from  USA.Gov  Team all to me in an email.  Don’t fret cause I plan to keep you im-formed all this time.

Can you please pass this on for me?    I have many more to hit tonight.

In a July 24, 2013  TriCare announces it changes in autism Coverages on DIvid's by video at this web address: http://www.dvidshub.net/video/297093/tricare-changes-autism-coverage#.Ui0gD2SG1vY.

If you have Basic Coverage there is no change.

If you have Enhanced Care Health Option or Echo Program  there are no changes to your benefit.

If you are a retiree or retired family member’s survivor with autism; autism coverage is being expanded in a Pilot Program and if you want to know more about them call the TriCare Center in your region(Here in Oklahoma, I am sure Tinker or a military base would have that information for you. Yet, TriCare also has a website. Try this site; http://www.military.com/kwlp08?   ESRC=ggl_mem_ben_tricpec_exp_4.kw&np=1).

^^^^^^^ Those with autism are often considered Visual thinkers. “Thinking in Pictures,” by  Temple Grandin often comes to mind when this is said.   The NIH  funded a study in mice recently that shows the “way the brain develops a visual circuit in growth.”  This could be important to autism and the understanding of the processes that go on in this type of classing of a number of spectrum characteristics.
