From our friend and Pediatrician, Dr. Joy Eberhardt de Master at Orchid Pediatrics. Dr. Eberhardt de Master specializes in neurodivergent care, and is a great resource for our province.
For any parent who has ever been told that supports are a "crutch," let's hold this truth close. ❤️
Your child’s mind is brilliant. The world just wasn't built with their wiring in mind. The tools you use—the visual schedules, the noise-canceling headphones, the extra processing time—aren't propping them up.
They are the bridges you build, piece by piece, so your child can walk confidently across and share their incredible gifts with the world. You are a bridge builder. ✨
What's one "bridge" that has made a world of difference for your child? Share below!
