When Little’s Miss’ words were trapped inside her we used what ever means worked…basic signing, picture boards, grunts, pointing, dragging us around to show us or her.
She started receiving services early and her mama fired more than one “professional” that was unwilling to work with in Raven’s sphere of communication by insisting on speech only. She had no speech at that time…nor was she willing to participate in rigid ABA style therapy.
Tiffy….I love that you stand for all of us using what works and respecting our children at their level while still trying to give them new skills.
This brought tear to my eyes. As a fellow mom with a child on a Spelling journey, thank you.
I feel this so much.

Thank you for all that you share here. I find myself regularly educated and inspired by what you write about your journey and Aidan's.
