I don’t know how long I’ve had a Twitter account, but I hardly ever use it until I stumbled on Paper.Li. The latter allows me to curate tweets by people I follow, and presents these in newspaper format. Now I can check my references daily for updates and links to related sites. Paper.li also allows me to include RSS feeds from blogs which I find more useful as I have been having problems managing my Twitter list called #specialneeds. Some of these Twitter accounts and blogs don’t update everyday though, and the best way to address this is to simply add more. Fortunately Twitter also recommends related accounts. Another way of expanding is to check who they follow or what other lists they appear.
Here are the top three accounts I subscribe and have in my list:
This one is the most active and is updated almost every hour, probably because it is an institutional account of http://www.earlysignsofautism.com/
sensorysmarts
by Lindsey Biel, author of the book “Raising a Sensory Smart Child.” I also follow her posts on Facebook. This account is active and occasionally updated, though not as frequently as the Facebook page.
An RSS feed of their blog features weekly stories by different parents dealing with babies who are colic, high need, and spirited.
