PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES
“Y3K Tutor In Your Home is terrific. We just started using the owner this year for my 6th grade daughter and we have seen a marked improvement on her test scores as well as her comprehension for math concepts she was struggling with. The tutor has got a great way with her. He is very calm and patient. I highly recommend him.”

Autism & Asperger’s Playing
The reason children on the autism spectrum do not enjoy pretend play is based on how their brains see the world. Pretend play requires putting yourself in someone’s shoes and talking and acting as if you were another person. Children with autism spectrum disorders usually struggle with the ability to see outside of themselves.
Autism / Asperger’s and Pretend Play
Watch out for children who do not show any interest in pretend play (such as feeding a baby doll) by about age 2. That is a potential sign of an autism spectrum disorder. Kids with autism tend to pick games that engage their senses and avoid games that ask them to pretend, a new study finds. Researchers found that children with autism were naturally drawn to activities that get them moving or allow them to watch moving objects. On the other hand, arts and crafts, and games that required pretending were the least popular with these same children.
