It's been a year! Intense, exhausting, challenging and filled with lots of frustration. BUT, when it comes to a close like this, I am reminded of how blessed I am to work with these special, little people.👪

The card on the left is from a beautiful young lady that I helped over a year ago. She has not forgotten me!💗

The card on the right is from a long term client who's daughter spent 6 years with me. From age 3 years when she had no vocabulary and language. She leaves for abroad ready to take on the world! We both cried today. 😭

What a privilege it is to help these little people communicate 🗣🙏
