Special Needs Vacation Planning
ASD Vacations
156 Seaside AvenueStamford, CT

Services for Traveling with Autism
We are here to help you with IVP (Individual Vacation Plan). We start with a free consultation in order to find out about your family's specific needs and desires. We ask about the special guest. What are their special needs and interests? What are their strengths and their challenges? What are their potential trigger points? What sensory and special diet issues need to be considered? This enables us to develop their own unique Autism Passport (our document that is loosely based upon Learner Snapshot by Judy Marks and Brenda Smith-Myles). We also ask about you and the other family members. What are your dreams and desires for an ideal vacations? What do you want to do with your Respite Time? We look at all of the issues that give you problems in traveling with autism and help you find the optimal means to resolve them.
TSA Helpline for Travelers with Disabilities
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced the launch of TSA Cares today, a new helpline number designed to assist travelers with disabilities and medical conditions, prior to getting to the airport. Travelers may call TSA Cares toll free at 1-855-787-2227 prior to traveling with questions about screening policies, procedures and what to expect at the security checkpoint.
"TSA Cares provides passengers with disabilities and medical needs another resource to use before they fly, so they know what to expect when going through the screening process," said TSA Administrator John Pistole. "This additional level of personal communication helps ensure that even those who do not travel often are aware of our screening policies before they arrive at the airport."
Since its inception, TSA has provided information to all travelers through its TSA Contact Center and Customer Service Managers in airports nationwide. TSA Cares will serve as an additional, dedicated resource for passengers with disabilities, medical conditions or
other circumstances or their loved ones who want to prepare for the screening process prior to
When a passenger with a disability or medical condition calls TSA Cares, a representative will provide assistance, either with information about screening that is relevant to the passenger's specific disability or medical condition, or the passenger may be referred to disability experts at TSA. TSA recommends that passengers call approximately 72 hours ahead of travel so that TSA Cares has the opportunity to coordinate checkpoint support with a TSA Customer Service Manager located at the airport when necessary.
Every person and item must be screened before entering the secure are of an airport and the manner in which the screening is conducted will depend on the passenger's abilities and any specific equipment brought to the security checkpoint.
TSA strives to provide the highest level of security while ensuring that all passengers are treated with dignity and respect. The agency works regularly with a broad coalition of disability and medical condition advocacy groups to help understand their needs and adapt screening procedures accordingly. TSA holds quarterly meetings with this coalition to inform them about current training and screening procedures used in airports. TSA recently plans to implement TSA Cares for travelers and inform them of the upcoming launch.
All travelers may ask to speak to a TSA supervisor if questions about screening procedures arise while at the security checkpoint. The hours of operation for the TSA Cares helpline are Monday through Friday 9 a.m.- 9 p.m. EST, excluding federal holidays. After hours, travelers can find information about traveling with disabilities and medical needs on TSA'S website.
All travelers can contact TSA using Talk To TSA, a web-based tool that allows passengers to reach out to an airport Customer Service Manager directly, and the TSA Contact Center, 1-866-289-9673 and email@example.com, where travelers can ask questions, provide suggestions and file complaints.Travelers who are deaf or hard of hearing can use a relay service to contact TSA Cares or can e-mail TSA-Contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Air travel can be difficult for individuals on the spectrum. As a result, families may miss out on spending the holidays with friends and relatives who are farther from home.
That's why Autism Speaks is partnering with JetBlue Airways to host Blue Horizons for Autism.
At each event, families can go through the full airport experience in a realistic setting - complete with tickets, a trip through security, and boarding the plane - so they can better prepare for future travel.
Thank you for helping Autism Speaks to fund important events like Blue Horizons and for doing your part to make travel easier for those on the spectrum.

Helping Parents of Kids with Autism Handle the Unique Challenges of the Holiday Season
The holiday season is a joyful time, but as we all know, it can also be incredibly stressful. Nobody appreciates this more than the parents and families of children with autism, who already face unique challenges.
outines and structure are more difficult to maintain during the chaos of the holidays, and kids with autism must deal with new faces, places and a disruption of their schedules. And, since many children with autism are also sensitive to noise, touch and light, the din of the holidays can become disorienting and overwhelming. This can mean a new level of stress and anxiety.
The following are tips provided by medical experts, educators and families of kids with autism. Several of the professionals and parents are available to discuss these and other ideas for making the holidays more fun for everyone involved:
- Plan ahead whenever possible. Compile a list of activities that can help your child fill his or her time wherever you go.
- Use rehearsal and role play to give children practice ahead of time in dealing with new social situations, or work together to write a "social story" that incorporates all the elements of an upcoming event or visit to better prepare them for that situation.
- If you are going to visit family or friends, make sure there is a quiet, calm place for retreat.
- Keep an eye out for signs of anxiety or distress, including an increase in behaviors such as humming or rocking - they may indicate it's time for a break.
- Engage kids with autism in repetitive activities such as stringing popcorn for trimming the tree.
- Practice unwrapping gifts ahead of time, which will help a child with autism learn the understanding and the meaning of gifts.
- Take toys and other gifts out of the box before wrapping them. It is more fun and less frustrating if a child with autism can open the gift and play with it immediately.
- Try to relax and have a good time. If you are tense your child may sense that something isn't right.
- Get a list of gift ideas for relatives from your child's teacher and therapists.
- Don't shield your child from the extended family. Family members need to understand the challenges you face.
- Take pictures when you and your child trim the tree, visit relatives, open gifts, etc. Make a book about your holiday by gluing the pictures onto construction paper, writing a short sentence under each picture, and stapling the pages together. When someone asks your child a question regarding the holidays, your child can use the book as a visual cue to help tell about the things he or she did.
If you are not receiving this listing directly and would like to be placed on our email list, please contact Lee Englander email@example.com

NY START (Systemic Therapeutic Assessment Resources and Treatment), a pilot program that will provide community-based crisis response and prevention services to individuals with developmental disabilities and behavioral health needs.
The Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) is excited about the development of the NY START program across the state. The START model, which was first developed in Massachusetts, is being launched across New York in phases with the Capital District, Hudson Valley, and Taconic areas scheduled next for launch in late October 2014.
The program's goal is to provide response and prevention services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and behavioral health needs, as well as their families and those who provide support within the community. NY START is not a separate system and does not replace existing services.
The NY START program will provide training, consultation, therapeutic services and technical assistance to enhance the ability of the community to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and complex behavioral health needs, and focuses on establishing integrated services with agency providers. Providing supports that help individuals to remain in their home or community placement is NY START's first priority.

Westchester Institute for Human Development Housing Resource Guide
In 2012 Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) was awarded a grant by the Organization for Autism Research (OAR) Applied Research program to create a Resource Guide for families seeking housing for their adult sons and daughters with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (ASD/I-DD) in Westchester County, New York.
We have focused on the "bricks and mortar" aspects of housing in Westchester, an economically and socially diverse county immediately north of New York City. Future editions of the guide will address the challenges associated with the provision of services, and issues elsewhere in New York State.
Creating sustainable housing options can be daunting, we do not have all of the answers, and we welcome questions and comments and any other feedback.

The story of John Cleaver Kelly, a film for National OCD Awareness Week
"As many of you may not know, this week National OCD Awareness week,(October 8th-14th) and yesterday, was National Mental Health Awareness day. 18 months ago, our best friend John Kelly, lost his battle with OCD, John was the best friend a kid could ask for and was really the heart of our small town. When he passed, many people were in shock and didn't really know how to react, and didn't realize that OCD could actually do this to someone. However, as time went on our small community of Dobbs Ferry rallied. Just 3 months after his death all of Johns friends came together and in less than two weeks and organized the "John Cleaver Kelly Legends Softball Tournament", which raised over 8,000 dollars for OCD, but more importantly kept Johns spirit alive. All the teams were named after the little league teams the now young adults of the community played for as kids, and months of pain turned into a day of joy. John's goal was to always find a cure for OCD, and he never gave up in his fight! "
This year, John Tessitore, Johns close friend, directed and narrated a film "Heroes Get Remembered but Legends Never Die" telling Johns remarkable story through his personal journals, family and friends in an effort to end the Stigma about Mental Disorders.

Ruthie, I love the Ninja Turtle cake, it is perfect!
Smitty, that is one gorgeous cake.
Here's the Minecraft cake I did for a 12th birthday party. It was so awesome the birthday boy sketch the cake out for me in his "cake consult". It was the best, he wanted to meet with me to go over his cake, and teach me about Minecraft. It was so darling! What I really wanted to do is invite him over and let him help me with the cake, but I'm not sure that would have went over well with the paying customer. I can imagine the conversation going a little like this "how does that work, I pay you to make a cake and you have my son do it and collect a fee"? I can't wait for my kids to get a little older so we can decorate together, if they like cake that is.
I also did a quinceanera cake. This one gave me fits, not my best work, especially covering a cake with fondant. Mostly disappointed this one didn't come out cleaner.

First time posting to the FNCC - I love the peony, it's gorgeous! I also love the purple quincenara cake, trust me that people won't see the flaws that we do! We're our own worst critics.
I made a cake for my son today. He turned four back in August, but he had the chicken pox on his birthday, so we didn't have the party until tonight. I ran out of time, so didn't get to do as many details as I wanted (only had time to make the anchor, one barrel and a treasure chest, had wanted to do more barrels, a few ladders, some portals and windows, but oh well). The gumpaste I had shaped for sails cracked when I tried to thread them on the skewers, and I didn't have time to redo them, so I cheated and printed off computer paper and airbrushed them. My little guy was thrilled and the crowd was impressed, so I guess that's all that matters! I had fun doing it, I love doing cakes for my kids because I can take as much creative liberties as I want!
I do have one question - my Duff airbrush plugged while I was doing this cake. I have the nozzle taken apart and the little pieces soaking right now, as that's what google said to do, but has anyone else had success getting the Duff airbrush unclogged?

The Peony is gorgeous! I found when I bought Dixie PS it was lumpy so I only buy Domino now. The turtles are so cute and I think you did a pretty good job. We are always hardest on ourselves. I love the ship. luv luv luv it!
I only did one cake this week. It was an 18 wheeler and it gave me fits. It just took so much longer to do than I anticipated. In the end it came out all right.
Love the minecraft cake that is so awesome that he wanted to inform you what a smart boy!
I think that makes the cakes more personal than the mom just saying he wants minecraft. Maybe I should start talking to their kids to find out what they like. Does anyone do that? Instead of just she wants a ballerina cake? The only downfall I could see to this is sometimes kids have unreasonable expectations. I want it to look like ballerina shoes nothing else. lol
Anyhow cute cake and the Quincenara cake looks fine I'm sure they were very impressed.
That boat rocks! I have seen more boats fail then success so great job! As for detail I was already impressed by all the details..lol

I just love everybodies cakes from this week. The turtles are so cute. That peony is too die for. The quinceanera cake is awesome. The truck, awesome job. and the ship is sooo cute.
Great job everyone!!
Here is one of my cakes. I still haven't downloaded the other pics. I really enjoyed making this one. But gotta say I'm getting tired of making themed and character cakes. I'm ready for wedding season to start. I don't know how any of you feel about it.

I made this for my little cousin's birthday today. I'm working hard on my techniques and I think I'm seeing some improvements. I definitely see many flaws in the cake but birthday boy loved it!
I love doing little kids cakes, as long as it looks remotely like they wanted they are thrilled
'Errrrr....What flaws? I don't see em!
Auntginn I hate character cakes but right now I'd do anything but twiddle my thumbs. I don't have
A cake till the end of October and it's boring.
Minnie is cute!
Thanks smittyditty, the base of this cake was a 4" x 14" red velvet with cream cheese icing and a 4" x 14" chocolate cake with buttercream carved and also used cake "spackle" to give it some dimension, gazebo base was a 4"x8" vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and top of gazebo was vanilla cake baked in one of my pyrex bowls, they also had a slab carrot cake. Funny the bride said the same thing about wanting to live there as well...perhaps it's time for me watch LOTR!!

A recent study by researchers at North Carolina State University and the University of Oregon describes a threat scenario that allows attackers to exploit cloud-based resources for malicious purposes like cracking passwords or launching denial-of-service attacks. The study has gotten a lot of attention, including articles in reputable sources like Dark Reading, Ars Technica and Network World.
In order to optimize the performance of mobile apps or browsers, some computation-heavy functions have been offloaded to cloud-based resources, which in turn access backend resources and Web pages. This creates a middle ground in the cloud that is exploited in the attack, which the authors call "Browser Map Reduce (BMR)". In reading the paper, it's clear that this is a legitimate threat. The authors actually carried it out using free resources, although they limited the scope in order not to be abusive.
Aside from questions of curiosity around the mechanics of the vulnerability, the obvious question is this: How can we mitigate this threat? Here are a few perspectives here as well as a method for each.
Apps – This "cloud offload" architecture has arisen because of the processing limitations of mobile devices. When a backend resource is requested by a mobile user, it makes sense to have the data returned in the most consumable format, in order to optimize user experience. Whenever possible, instead of doing this through "browser offload", data should be returned as JSON objects. This API approach is a proven method that works for mobile devices and is not subject to the BMR threat.
Cloud Services – This threat should not be viewed as a dismissal of the "cloud offload" approach. Cloud-based resources are necessary for handling caching, data indexing and other key functions in the mobile paradigm. However, it serves as a warning that these dedicated cloud-based resources cannot be considered part of a walled garden that includes the associated mobile app. The resource's entry point must be protected against attackers. Layer 7's SecureSpan Mobile Access Gateway is an ideal choice for this access control, as it uses identity-based measures to ensure that only requests from legitimate sources are serviced.
Web-Based Resources – Although the backend Web resource was not exploited in this scenario, the study is a reminder that the topology of the mobile Web is changing and increasing in complexity. P2P app-to-API connections cannot be assumed and therefore inbound API calls cannot be implicitly trusted. API access must be controlled and the SecureSpan API Proxy is a leading solution for this purpose.
To sum up, this is a legitimate threat but not a reason to abandon the use of cloud-based resources for mobile app optimization. Be aware of the threats, employ the mitigations and then you can continue to enjoy the exciting growth of the mobile Web.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices.

The term culture has had a polarizing effect among DevOps supporters. Some propose that culture change is critical for success with DevOps, but are remiss to define culture.

Watch 'Under the Sea' Played on Bottle Caps Because the World Needs This Kind of Fun [VIDEO]
If you've ever wanted to hear 'Under the Sea' performed on bottles by a group of men in a pool, today is your lucky day.

The Muppets are back -- and they're not alone -- in the new 'Muppets 2' poster. Funnyman Ricky Gervais of Golden Globes-hosting fame, Ty Burrell of 'Modern Family' and Tina Fey herself make up the non-Muppet cast for the 'Most Wanted' sequel of the coming year.
Anyone can whistle or sing their favorite Disney song, but for every 'Under the Sea' and 'A Whole New World,' there are dozens of orphaned tunes that never made it into their respective film. Too bad, since many of these unfortunate victims of time constraints or script rewrites are really catchy.

'Oliver & Company' and 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' helped Disney animation get back on its feet, but it was 'The Little Mermaid' that brought Disney back to its roots and laid the framework for the modern fairy tale musical. In celebration of the film's Blu-Ray debut, here are ten behind-the-scenes facts about the 1989 Disney classic that you may not have known.
Earlier today, we asked you to send in the cutest photo of your prince or princess for a chance to win Disney on Ice "Rockin' Ever After" tickets and a Princess Tea Party. We never thought we'd get so many adorable submissions!
