WOLF WEDNESDAYS: ORGANIZING THE UNORGANIZED
Three Things to Keep in Mind It’s January, and yes, all the holiday decorations and New Year’s glitter is gone, but in its place, there’s a marketing ploy at hand. Get organized. Storage bins of every size, color-coded files and boxes, cleaners and vacuums and new sheets are all on
“Oh what a sight, this time of year”
Holiday Event As all of us know, getting up in front of a crowd is never easy. But imagine how impossible it might seem if you were a child with complex learning differences? Many of our students arrive at Wolf without the social skills or confidence it takes to speak up in
Time for YOU!
It’s time for our Wolf Wednesday blog post and the final Holiday Tip! This is the one that everybody tells you about, and you read about in all the magazine and blogs, and you know you should do it, but somehow it always falls to the bottom of your list.

Gift Getting 101
We’ve all gotten those gifts. The turkey salt shakers, the book you already read, the sweater circa 1970, the slippers that look like farm animals, the bright blue cordial glasses you’ll never use, the mini-donut maker when you’ve given up sugar. The thing about getting a gift is that it’s
Sweet Dreams
You have heard this before. From doctors and therapists and articles in waiting room magazines. From mattress salesmen and your mother. It’s the cure-all and the game changer. That’s right – sleep! And everything you’ve heard goes double for children with learning and attention issues. Sleep effects mood, organization, memory,
