		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who&#8217;s in sales is all too familiar with the word &#8216;no.&#8217; Now, more than ever merchants are hearing it from the schools. All you have to do is Google ‘school budget cuts’ and the first few pages are littered with articles written within the last few days about schools and their budget woes. This is nothing new and if it wasn’t for the stimulus funding dedicated to education, the past two years would have been just as dismal.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;You get what you pay for.&#8221; That&#8217;s a sentiment often expressed when we purchase something cheap and it turns out, there&#8217;s a reason it was so cheap. The product either fails to do what it&#8217;s suposed to or it breaks after one use. We all know this, yet we still fall for the occasional &#8220;great deal&#8221; which ends up being a huge let down.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday the Associated Press published an article that uncovered some pretty astonishing information about the unemployment rate of young adults with Autism. The article reports that 1 in 3 Autistic young adults have no paid job experience, college education, or technical school nearly 7 years after graduating from high school.  This is obviously a major problem, with roughly 500,000 autistic kids reaching adulthood in the next decade.  What’s even more worrisome is that this study was actually done before unemployment ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technology and education go hand-in-hand. The right tools can make all the difference in a learner&#8217;s success. The growing trend in web-based technology within the realm of education makes perfect sense. Online availability allows learners to access their tools anytime, anywhere. And that&#8217;s huge because let&#8217;s face it, learning shouldn&#8217;t stop as soon as the student leaves the classroom. Here are just 5 reasons why web-based transition assessments are so powerful.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[We spend a lot of time talking about the benefits of our programs for the autism community. Our Functional Skills System and related apps are perfect for helping non-verbal individuals with developmental disabilities communicate. However, there&#8217;s no reason these same programs can&#8217;t help other non-verbal individuals communicate as well. As we expand our product offerings, people are realizing that our programs are actually perfect for helping people who have been diagnosed with Aphasia learn to communicate again.<br />

Time Management is choosing actions that are in line with your goal of finishing the tasks you have to do. I&#8217;m sure you can think of someone who always seems to be stressed out by their busy schedule. It could be that person just has a lot on their plate. On the other hand, their stress could be caused by poor time management skills. One of the best ways to learn how to manage stress is to learn how ...]]></description>

Although there&#8217;s no magic formula for making the right decision every time, this 8-step process will help you to facilitate sound decision making.<br />
<br />
Step 1: State the Problems<br />
There is no more important step in problem analysis than defining or stating the problem. This may sound simple—and it is. But because it is such a simple step, many people make the mistake of not doing it. Failing to clearly say what the problem is wastes time and ...]]></description>

The word &#8220;Driven&#8221; is derived from the term, &#8220;Drive Strength,&#8221; and it is used to describe the skill of learning, understanding, and using your desire to reach your goals.
