Families with abilities in Marion Tx.

In the midst of a crisis.

Every home is different. Perhaps in the manner there is one care giver, one that most the hardships are placed upon when living with someone and their abilities. The role is never a easy one. It is tiring, consuming, and rewarding. Quite a roller coaster 🎢. Depending on the diagnosis, situation, individual, etc. Family, friend, mediators are great to accompany. I highly recommend educating one self, or as a family, on the many ways that everyone can work together and perform the greatest service to the member needing it. Obviously monetary is always needed, knowledge on avenues for insurances, programs that specialize in the field of the ability also. Noone should feel alone!
Is communication lacking? Is it hard for the one with abilities to reach out? Make their voice count! Ask them how they would like to set a system up acknowledging their needs, their fears, questions etc. The more they feel everyone excepting of them, and showing them their value. Alot happens internally that surpass negatives.
My prayers for your journeys.
I'm always available for prayer request and more.

Schedules and structure in children with special needs.

Creating schedules and structure in their daily routine works well. They know what's expected of them, what's to come, and gives them a sense of accomplishment. Always allow the days things will not go right, obstacles, and confusion. If at all possible plan ahead for these days. Sometimes the best way to do things on the chaotic days, is just let things go as smooth as possible and keep a positive attitude. Everything might not get accomplished as planned. Is there something else that can be substituted? Is it that important? Can you do it another day? How about just forgetting it altogether?
Allow yourself the mental breaks. If you can find a great support group...join it. Remember you are one of the most important tools in their lives! You need to take care of you!
Prayers and love on your journey.

Whatever the ability you have or a loved one or a friend. Once you really get involved in their life, and get to know the ins and outs, the ticks and tocks. You will understand there is a whole different world outside of what we consider the "normal". Along with the hardships, the beauty that comes with it surpasses.
I love this 🎥. It never gets old!

Are you aware of triggers? Can you identify them? They are in adults and children. Do not be afraid to voice yours should they exist. Don't be afraid to ask others as well. This does not need to be with just people with disabilities. When you have a chance, sit down, reflect when perhaps something got out of control? Not always. But chances are triggers were involved. It could have been many built up over time and exploded like a soda can that was shook up. Some are formed in early ages and if not identified, carry to adulthood. My prayers to everyone in their journey. Lilo.
Love in light out!

Accountability for mental health abilities.

As much as circumstances in our lives can contribute to our behaviour and how we react to them, we are accountable still for our actions. Maintaining a great daily regimen of sleep, activities, medicine management, and most importantly knowing the triggers that can set us off. Is important in our overall health.No matter how far one is in to their diagnosis.....life happens. Find that someone, find multiple people if need be. Have your network of strength, understanding, caring people that will listen, will not judge and at times tell you truths of wrong moves. Do not be too hard on yourself. Life is a learning process. Let's learn together! If you need a listening 👂. Im right here. Feel free to reach out. For prayer, and more. God bless you on your journey. Whatever your ability is!

Before you get upset at the slow driver, the person having difficulties checking their groceries out, the person having difficulties with their words to communicate and more. All disabilities are not seen with the eye. Share 💘 not judgment or criticism.

One of the best ways to take care of your mental health and more. Set boundaries. Not everyone will share the same ones. But it is ok to agree to disagree. Look for and acknowledge others boundaries as well. We share this world together. If we can keep our eyes, and minds open. We can learn from eachother.
