I know I've been off for awhile, but I really can't let today pass without giving a and shout-out to my buddy B. At the end of his session, clearly he was done. When I asked him if he was asking me to go home, I got a quick "yes" response 🤣. I love when my clients use their words to express themselves. This kid is 16 and has had no formal communication until this year so I'm not looking for grammar, I take the novel utterance however it comes out

Did you know that March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness month? Most people probably don't because it is a very overlooked disability, but most of my favorite clients have CP. They are fun and smart and these guys are the best!!! Today we played giant Hungry Hungry Hippos. Great version of the game for those with physical disabilities.

One of my favorite things about my clients with physical disabilities is solving the accessibility puzzle. My new guy, T is very physically complex. We have been trying to find the best placement for switches for weeks now. Last week, I was lucky enough to run into his OT who helped me determine where he has the most movement. Today we put that information to work. After many many tweaks and adjustments, I think we found the setup 🎊🎉🥳 I love what I do!!!

I do love this saying but it begs the question are we showing compassion or are we presuming incompetence? I love my husband and children and they don't need to use words to tell me when they are happy or sad, but when we believe that we can love people who are nonverbal without giving them communication because "love needs no words" we take away their opportunity to speak for themselves. We can believe love needs no words, but please always give them the opportunity to communicate in any way that meets their needs. #

Just me today bringing some knowledge. AAC is power, but if you don't have the right support you may never get the chance to find that power. Never let anyone tell you the say AAC won't work!

Weekly wins are back for 2026. Reminder, thinking that all clients will use their device at all times is not realistic but we can work it in to their most important times to begin.

Happy New Year to all my loyal clients and followers. I am so grateful for all of you.
