I&#8217;m excited to share my interest about autism and related disorder with you. I hope you find this site interesting.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My name is Linda Timhadjelt. I&#8217;m coaching families to reach their special need child to fulfil their full potential by remediating the core deficits of autism. I give them strategies to develop a genuine relationship, connect and improve their quality of life. I help children with a variety of special needs such as <strong>MLD (Moderate Learning Difficulties), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), GDD (Global Developmental Delay), and DS (Down\u2019s Syndrome), Epilepsy, LD (Learning Disabilities) and ELD (Expressive Language Disorder)<\/strong>. I support parents to overcome their child&#8217;s diagnosis as well as giving them the opportunity to help their child to develop their brain.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mother of an autistic child myself, I have seen fantastic improvements due to <strong>the method of &#8220;Le Petit Prince&#8221;<\/strong>. I intend to reach other parents who, just like me, wish more for their child. By addressing imagination, communication and socialisation, we will unlock the potential of your child. I will help you\u00a0giving your child the tools\u00a0to develop a connection with others and establish true relationships. <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The main idea of my method is to encourage <strong>a one to one close relationship between your child and a play partner <\/strong>whose objective will be to reach your child&#8217;s world in order to even pretend teaching him\/her anything. By not spending time working on the quality of an interaction with an autistic child, we are bound to feel powerless in front of this disorder.  <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Neural connectivity can change throughout life\u201d, isn&#8217;t that an exciting news! This actually means that children are predisposed to change\u00a0as long as they are giving learning opportunities. My method\u00a0emphasises on the teaching\u00a0of flexible thinking and building skills for life to encourage a switch to\u00a0independence. These areas that are so weak in an autistic child&#8217;s brain\u00a0need to be strengthened. If I have learned to do this for my son, so can you!<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #0066bf;\"><b>How can Autism Training Center help ?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #0066bf;\"><b>Work with Linda<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2a7c88ed7399b58548950fa669da1b10\"><span class=\"text-class-3\">&nbsp; &nbsp;Linda Timhadje<\/span><span class=\"text-class-3\">lt<\/span>, Founder and President provides in-home educational services to children and teens with autism in London, United Kingdom, and offers parents and teachers, all over the world, online and telephone support.

After a while, the little prince asks what the meaning of &#8220;tamed&#8221; is, and the fox explains that to tame is to establish ties, meaning that if they are tamed, then the fox and the boy will need each other and become unique in each other&#8217;s eyes, despite all the other boys and foxes in the world. The little prince says that he believes there is a flower who has tamed him.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c7af9ef736ce81db98b938aa0c47bd7c\"><span class=\"inline-character\">&nbsp; &nbsp;The fox<\/span> discusses his monotonous life of hunting chickens and being hunted by men, and he asks<span class=\"inline-character\"> the little prince <\/span>to tame him so that his life might have more meaning. The fox teaches the little prince how to observe the proper rites and tame him, and the little prince does so. When the little prince is about to leave one day, the fox says that he will cry, but that being tamed has nonetheless done him good because the color of the wheat-grain will now always remind him of the little prince&#8217;s hair.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2aadd843bce2678020df155525cf099a\"><span class=\"inline-character\">&nbsp; &nbsp;The fox<\/span> tells <span class=\"inline-character\">the little prince<\/span> to go observe the bed of roses again, and this time the little prince tells the roses that they are not at all like <span class=\"inline-character\">his rose<\/span> at home because no one has tamed them, and so they are empty. The little prince then returns to the fox to say goodbye. As they part, the fox tells him a secret: &#8220;It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.&#8221; The little prince realizes that he is responsible for his rose.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #0066bf;\"><strong>Analysis<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9e9b2a3db60cca4307ab3c9a7f2dca5a\">&nbsp; &nbsp;The little prince learns about what it means to form a relationship with another. The fox teaches him that this process forms an important bond between the tamer and the tamed\u2014it is not being unlike anything that makes something unique, it is the connection a something or someone has with another person or thing. Uniqueness grows out of a relationship.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8309790afca2a8db6ee201de35e162e7\">&nbsp; &nbsp;The fox sees the normal actions of his life\u2014hunting, being hunted, and which might be compared to grown-ups focus on &#8220;figures&#8221;\u2014as lacking meaning when he has no relationship with anything. The meaning comes not from the fact that he hunts; it comes from whom he hunts for, or who it would be important to that he escapes hunters. Although relationships can open one up to sadness, the fox&#8217;s comment about the wheat suggests that the sadness is not as important as the fact that the wheat fields hold special meaning for him now\u2014that it is a reminder of his relationship to the prince.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-854a1c799d4094b25a279988659b19d4\">&nbsp; The little prince realizes now that his relationship with his rose is more important than her outward appearance and her superficial lies. He learns this by exploring and interacting with the fox, by &#8220;looking&#8221; with his heart at his relationships rather than with his eyes at whether something is original, whether it lies, etc.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here you can learn all the latest news and keep in touch.
