Progress isn’t always linear… AND THAT’S OKAY!
At REConnections Education Center, we honor the truth that development ebbs and flows. Every child’s journey is unique, valid, and worth celebrating—even the smallest steps forward. 💛

So keep showing up.
Keep noticing.
Growth is happening.

Let’s celebrate progress in all its forms—because every step matters. 💫

Building Social-Emotional Growth from the Ground Up! 💛
At REConnections Education Center, we recognize that social-emotional development begins with meeting a child’s most basic needs—and grows from there.

🔑 Based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, here’s how we support the whole child:
✅ Physiological & Safety Needs – Before a child can learn and connect, they must feel safe, rested, and cared for—physically and emotionally.
✅ Love & Belonging – Through nurturing relationships and social play, children learn how to love, trust, and engage with others.
✅ Esteem – We build confidence through encouragement, choice-making, and celebrating progress, big or small.
✅ Self-Actualization – With support, children begin to discover their passions, talents, and ways they can contribute to the world around them.

From story time and emotional games to team activities and creative outlets, everything we do is rooted in helping each child grow into their fullest potential—socially, emotionally, and beyond. 💫

Regulate. Engage. Communicate.

At REConnections Education Center, we use the DIRFloortime® approach to support meaningful development. By focusing on emotional regulation, engagement, and communication, we help our students build strong, lasting foundations for growth — one connection at a time. 💜

Because every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.

Let’s Talk AAC & Language Exposure! 💬
By 18 months old, most babies have heard around 4,380 hours of spoken language—and we don’t expect them to be fluent speakers yet. 👶

Now imagine this:
If an AAC user only experiences symbol modeling twice a week for 20–30 minutes, it would take them 84 YEARS to get the same exposure to language as that 18-month-old.

📣 Consistency is key. Just like with spoken language, AAC must be modeled frequently throughout the day—in play, routines, mealtimes, and beyond.
Let’s make every moment a language opportunity for our AAC learners. Every child deserves to be heard. ❤️

At REConnections Education Center, we know that communication doesn’t stop when summer starts—and neither should AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) use!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents, here’s how you can keep AAC skills growing all summer long:

🔹 Model daily – Use your child’s AAC device during everyday routines (meals, playtime, errands) to show how to communicate with it.
🔹 Talk about what you see & do – Describe your surroundings and actions using the AAC device.
🔹 Keep it fun – Use AAC during games, songs, and summer outings!
🔹 Stay consistent – Even a few minutes a day makes a BIG impact!

💬 Remember: Your consistent modeling helps build confidence, vocabulary, and connection. Let’s keep communication blooming this summer! 🌞
