I get a great opportunity to learn from watching and listening to these parents.

So another big piece of the work that I really value

is work with families and supporting families.

One other element I should add is that I'm a drummer and a performing percussionist.

I play in a band.

And I've always been interested in the creative and performing arts and how that can be used for people with disabilities to enhance quality of life, but even more specifically to enhance language and communication skills.

and self esteem.

So I'm involved in all of those areas right now to varying degrees.

Yeah, and and you know, that's something I really try to get across.

And that now in my kind of more senior years in my career, I think it's important, you know, to get across to um younger people who potentially could come into the field or who are already interested in coming into whatever it may be, speech language, pathology, special education, social work, any kind of helping fields that, you know, you're really creating a life for yourself.

You're not just getting a job and getting a paycheck.

And the one thing that's been of such great value to me is the work that I do has enhanced my personal life in so many ways.

being the most incredible people, you know, some of my close friends now are adults on the spectrum, including families who have family members on the spectrum.

And it it spills over into my personal life.

It's not that I'm doing it with my professional hat on.

It's just I've met the most wonderful people who outside of, if you will, consulting to their child or consulting to a school program, have just have become wonderful friends.

and I've learned so much through this experience.

So it it it really for me has broken down the boundaries between your so-called vocation and what you do outside of your work.

And and I think it it's uh younger people are much more capable of doing

This now, um, for let me just give you a quick example.
