Clients I work with have this and I love it! There are so many social and executive function skills involved in using the phone.

The Tin Can is a colorful, Wi-Fi–enabled “landline” designed for kids. This simple home phone is evoking nostalgia in millennial parents while giving them a choice beyond the smart device. https://nyti.ms/4tkui21

Do you want this year to be better than last year for your child? Do you feel like the school is speaking another language to you about your child’s IEP and during PPTs?

Lots of parents I work with feel this way so I am offering a training next week to help alleviate some of the anxiety.

Feel free to share with others.

🌴 After 18 years of working with children, some things just stick with you. Now, even on vacation, when I see a coconut tree, all I can think is “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, will there be enough room?” 🌴🥥 🤪
