Can you give me more information on the program? The program you are referring to is called TLC for Kids (Technology Enhanced Literacy and Communication for Kids). TLC is currently offered at the Halton Hills Child Care and the Tiny Tim Developmental School campuses in Milton and Georgetown. It is a collaborative program of several community organizations that aims to enhance the literacy and social communication skills of all children aged 2 _ to 6. The program is $100.00 for 12 sessions and is open to all families who consent for their children to attend. The children attend a session once a week for 30-40 minutes in a small group format. A Speech-Language Pathologist oversees the program, sets goals and monitors each of the children's progress. A Communicative Disorders Assistant actively runs the program with the Early Childhood Educator. The use of a computer and data projector allow the children to interact with computer games that focus on literacy and language skills, and a variety of motivating circle activities are also used. Goals in the TLC program are also incorporated into the children's daily routine. Workshops, newsletters and handouts are also a part of TLC. The Halton Hills Speech Centre is very proud to be a part of this innovative program. Please contact our centre for more information.

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE 1961 ~ August 26 ~ 2011 Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Guess Who's Pat and Paul Burroughs 50 The facet joints are found on the back of each vertebrae in the back. Articular cartilage lines each of the bones. The role of the facet joints is to limit excessive movement and to provide the spine with stability. Facet pain can occur due to trauma, repetitive movements and arthritic changes in the facet's articular cartilage. Poor posture can also lead to undo stress on the joints as well as improper body mechanics. Injuries to the facet joints often result in one sided back pain that is accompanied by muscle spasm and stiffness and is aggravated by bending backwards and side bending to the affected side. Pain is often described as a dull and achy pain that can become sharp. It will usually occur with prolonged sitting or standing or lifting and carrying heavier items. A majority of the time facet joint syndrome is treated without surgery. Physiotherapy or conservative treatment is usually prescribed. In the initial stages, treatment is directed to settling down pain and muscle spasm and improving your mobility. The Physiotherapists at Eramosa Physiotherapy Associates will then proceed to direct you into the positions and postures that will help to reduce your discomfort. Manual therapy techniques and modalities such as acupuncture, TENS, heat and ice can also be employed to decrease your pain while specific exercise will be incorporated to strengthen YOU and return you to your activity pain free! 1. Sole Custody - the parent with whom the children resides makes all the decisions concerning the children. The other parent has a right to see the children and a right to information about the children. 2. Joint Custody - the children live primarily with one parent and the other parent has a right to see the children. Both parents make major decisions about the children together. 3. Shared Custody - the children generally live one-half of the time with each parent often on a week on /week off schedule. Both parents make major decisions jointly. The parents should live relatively close to each other so that the children may attend the same school, activities, etc. 4. Split Custody - This situation occurs when the children do not live together. For instance one child may live with one parent and the other child resides with the other parent. It does not often occur. There are pros and cons to each type of parenting and you should speak to a lawyer before making any decisions. Q: A: What are the different types of custody?

Q: A: How old would you say children should be for their first dental exam? Five or Six? In years past, it was rare for a child to see a dentist before five or six years old. Would most dentists agree that is too long to wait? Today, most dentists recommend the first dental exam to be scheduled around the age of two. Because not all the teeth are present, this visit is mostly a consultation. Parents can ask questions about their child's teeth. The dentist can also show how to best clean the infant's teeth and advise the parents on the best dietary habits for their child's optimum development. This visit also helps the child to realize the dental office isn't something fear. As the child gets older, it is important that the parents not discuss their own negative experiences with dentists. Questions should be answered truthfully and with a positive attitude. Modern day dentistry is much better than when we were children. Keeping your children's teeth healthy begins with timely visits to your dentist. I have heard a lot about kids health and backpacks. What should I look for when I buy my child's back pack? Q: A: Here are some helpful guidelines · Choose shoulder straps that are padded and wide, but allow free arm movement even in a winter coat. · Consider back pack compartments to prevent shifting of the contents Adjust backpack straps so the bottom of the pack sits above the beltline. · Make sure that it's cool/ hip/ happening or whatever term is being used these days. · Also be as selective as possible with what is placed in the backpack the child should be able to get the pack on and off without straining. I posted a few more tips on our website under children's health at www.rossphysio.com under children's health, bottom left of the home page .
