Summary

In this episode, we discuss the ViSPA, the Visual Spatial Planning & Assessment, which is a tool used to organize activities from the book Thinking Goes to School by Dr. Hans Furth and Dr. Harry Wachs. The ViSPA follows the Thinking Goes to School book, starting with general movement thinking activities, then it gets more specific with activities such as ocular convergence where you work on your eyes coming together to look at a board, focus on a word, read it, re-adjust your eyes, look down at your paper, and write it down.Link to the show notes with links to key discussion points and other ways to view or hear the episode here: https://affectautism.com/2023/10/27/vispa/Consider joining our DIR® Parent Network or becoming an Affect Autism member for bonus content and support from a like-minded community of Floortimers here: ⁠⁠⁠https://affectautism.com/support/⁠

Miss Lulu Bett by Zona Gale Loyal Books Lulu Bett is a spinster, living at the turn of the 20th century essentially as a servant with her sister Ina and brother-in-law Dwight. She is, uncomplainingly, "the family beast of burden," living in the background and tending to the family's needs. It therefore surprises everyone, Lulu included, when Dwight's visiting brother Ninian proposes to her, and she accepts. The surprise is even greater when Lulu returns home alone from their homeymoon trip, with the news that Ninian was already legally married before he married her. What follows brings Lulu into conflict with the self-satisfied Dwight, forcing her to choose how she defines herself, with unexpected results. This novel is the basis of the 1921 play for which Zona Gale became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama. The original ending of the play, in which Lulu gains freedom by walking away from the security of the family, was considered so controversial that a new ending was written.
