Um, and you know, I'm pointing this out because I feel like sometimes in our community we have this idea of like, we do an assessment, we get an AAC device, we just like, here we go, let's do it.
podcast-host
And it's not always so cut and dry.
podcast-host
Um, and I definitely have experienced that with Mavering, even to this day, we're
podcast-host
Still kind of trying to tweak and adapt and shift based on kind of what he's showing.
podcast-host
We've also had the experience of him kind of building up some skills and then us losing some of those skills, which I think is very reflective of, you know, children that have a diagnosis of epilepsy.
podcast-host
And so I'm just curious from your side of things, you know, what has your experience been with therapists?
podcast-host
Um, I know you have a huge
podcast-host
team and I'm so grateful to be a part of it and have been a part of it for a long time.
podcast-host
But, you know, for parents out there who are listening, you know, what has what have you learned as far as the therapy journey and finding the right people to kind of support your son?
podcast-host
Totally.
podcast-host
I think there's like a lot of denial sometimes of where, you know, a child's at and I don't
podcast-host
discount that experience at all because I think it's really hard to accept um when your child is not developing, you know, with a typical trajectory and what that looks like and what the ramifications are are.
podcast-host
But if we can't have an honest conversation about where a child's at, we're not able to fully come in and really help them get to where we want them to be.
podcast-host
Um and so I think that's a good point.
podcast-host
I also want to share that one of my favorite things about working with you guys as a family and just our team is that not every family understands the importance of collaboration and prioritizes it the way that you guys do.
podcast-host
Um, and I think that it makes all the difference in the world, uh, especially when you're working with a child that has complex needs.
podcast-host
Um, you know, having those teams.
podcast-host
Meetings where everybody contributes their own through their own experience and lens helps us all understand this child in front of us in a very holistic way.
podcast-host
And we're able to then in our session start integrating all the different disciplines.
podcast-host
And we just know that that's how our kids make progress, especially when learning becomes hard and we need so much repetition and exposure in order to.
