Welcome to the Learning Gracie Blog. At age 3, Gracie was diagnosed with significant global development delay. Almost ten years on, Gracie still has limited communication and self-help skills and has now been diagnosed as having ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder).

This blog is about sharing our journey learning Gracie in 2012. This journey was never about fixing a "lack" or deficiency in Grace, rather it is about fixing a lack in OUR knowledge of how to best help Grace realise her potential. I also wanted this to be a place that whanau and friends could visit to keep tabs on Gracie's progress, ask questions and make comments...so please do!
