Tool of the Week
Useful Idea
Want to light up your baby’s brain? Think “serve and return.” 🎾
Much like a tennis match, serve and return entails back and forth interaction during which adult and child trade conversational (and other expressive) turns.

Private Practice Tips

Start new project

Get bored

This video contains the words of Peyton Goddard, a nonspeaking autistic woman who was in her 20s before she was placed into a position to get her words out. I urge you to schedule time for this and watch it to the end. I will share more from Peyton later. youtu.be/PMcAb2ASe_o

What the hell is an ampersand and why does it look like that?!
The first thing you need to know is that "&" used to be the 27th letter of the alphabet...
