The Road To Massachusetts

B1

After packing up what seemed to be an ever-expanding mass of boxes, we set out to begin our 40-plus hour drive to Massachusetts with my wife, our 5-year-old son, Jackson, our 8-month-old black lab puppy, Stella, and everything that was left when the movers drove off with our trailer which included things like 50 hangers, a bag of flour, a water gun, two laundry baskets, and a cowboy hat. All of that sounded like a recipe for disaster to me, but it wasn’t at all. We had to do some serious editing the next morning, so that whoever wasn’t driving still had circulation in their legs, but it was surprisingly enjoyable.

Leaving Austin: Destination Massachusetts

Goodbye

Katie Giboney, another supervisor, who became a really close friend of ours in the Austin office, set up a going away party for us at Torchy’s Tacos. Almost all the CARD Austin office came out to say goodbye. It was a great night for reminiscing with friends over tacos and queso. We were really touched at the support our office showed by coming out and celebrating with us.

The Story of CARD eLearning™ and Skills®

Promotion

When I came to work at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) in August of 2005, I was given a number of “projects” to work on, one of which was the CARD Curriculum (as it was called at the time). The CARD Curriculum had been in development for many years before I came along but was nowhere near done. At first the project wasn’t my main priority, as I had other projects, until one day that all changed.
