Removing supports because someone is doing well is like removing my foot stool that I need every day to reach the top shelf (I’m 5” tall). The reason I can consistently reach the items on the top shelf is because of my accommodation.

'We can probably reduce those supports now?'

'No.'

I asked my client to share what was on their mind. They chose to communicate the way they feel most comfortable. Through PICTURES! They walked me through the visuals out loud, and it made complete sense. It was even persuasive!

Communication takes many forms. Let’s change our expectations of what it has to look like.

To all our hardworking teachers!  We see you!

It was an honor to be part of this event and share how we can support autistic and other neurodivergent individuals from 2 years old through adulthood. It was great to see our friend Casey Joseph from Casey’s Special Education Services, LLC and catch up!!! She has supported my kiddo in various ways for the past three years! We were next door to NeuroSpice Girls who provide support to the tireless caregivers of neurodivergent family members or are neurodivergent themselves. I was excited to also meet Autonomous Hippopotamus LLC! One of Maryland’s few (and I mean very few) educational therapists in the area serving Baltimore and nearby areas. We shared many ideas and her experience and insight provided me with thought provoking concepts to explore. Most importantly, thank you to the parents and students that dropped by our table wanting to hear more and share their experience.

☀️ Thank you to all of the families, community organizations, staff, and volunteers who joined us yesterday for our Special Education Family Resource Fair!

We are so grateful for the incredible support, resources, connections, and positive energy that made the event such a success. It was wonderful to see families engaging with organizations, learning about available services, and building community together.

A special thank you to all of our participating organizations for taking the time to share your expertise and support with our families. Your partnership helps make a meaningful difference for our students and community.

❤️ We appreciate everyone who attended and helped create such a welcoming and impactful event.

🎨 Congratulations to Sammy H., winner of OAR’s 2026 Youth Art Contest!

Sammy took first place in the Autistic Youth Age 14+ category for his powerful piece, Escape. His work demonstrates the challenge of escaping the overwhelming sensory world to be himself and how that can be painful at times.

We’re honored to celebrate his creativity and share his incredible artwork. Keep creating, Sammy! 🖌️

We’ve been working on sensory strategies for self-regulation, and today my client lit up with an idea: “What if they had facials?!”
This is what child-led intervention looks like. When kids are at the center of their own care, they start noticing what actually helps them. The textures, the pace, the sensations that bring their nervous system back to center. My job isn’t to hand them a regulation toolkit. It’s to help them discover their own.
