We had such a fruitful discussion circle last week at ND Family Support Night! I got to share my top 6 communication tools. This was a favorite: "Handling Repeat Worries"

🏃‍♀️Movement is one of our most effective tools for wellness. Walking, stretching, rocking, jumping aren't just distractions from challenging moments; they're a pathway to self-regulation. Moving the body helps release built-up stress, organize sensory input, and create a sense of safety.

📖I recently listened to this book about exercise and the brain, and it made me want to find more ways to help my clients manage their anxiety and dysregulation with preventative exercise. It's a great read! And she explains how the brain tries to stop us from exercising and how to overcome that. Move the Body Heal the Mind by Jennifer Heisz available through the Eugene Public Library's Libby app.

When I write a plan, my favorite part is training my client’s support team. I’ve gotten to do this a lot lately with some stellar people who are truly dedicated to the wellbeing and dignity of the person they support. The best part is that it’s so collaborative. Everyone learns from each other. I leave knowing the plan is the best it can be based on what we know works for the person at the center of it. Thank you to all the DSPs, PSWs, parents, siblings, grandparents, job developers, job coaches, rep payees, counselors, and friends who put their hearts and minds into designing high quality support! And thank you to all my clients who work tirelessly to help us understand what you need. 💙

🩺Going to medical appointments can be extremely stressful.
🩺It's hard to explain your needs when everything moves so fast.
🩺Write up a list of what helps and bring it with you to every visit.

Here's a modified guide a client and I made for her clinic visits.

And our pizza break was even more inclusive. Folks who are sensitive to being around food that isn't theirs didn't have the stress of a buffet. CAC members were happy to provide table service! 🍕🍕🍕 Thank you City of Eugene Adaptive Recreation for the space and recruitment support!

When your kid with intellectual disabilities becomes an adult, how do you continue to have a say in their life without limiting their independence?
