My job as a speech-language pathologist in Charlotte, NC is fulfilling on many levels. Of course when I see a child achieve something new in one of my speech therapy sessions, I am greatly rewarded and inspired to stay dedicated. However, I am equally inspired by the talents and dedication of those around me, especially the numerous parents I come into contact with each week.
One of those dedicated and inspiring parents shared the story below with me today. Not only will this story inspire parents, therapists, and teachers to keep trying new techniques and to build on even the smallest accomplishments, but I hope it also inspires the neurologists, researchers, and academics in the autism community. Children and adults and with autism who are able to explain their thoughts and feelings (like Carly in the story below) provide much hope for putting together the pieces of the autism puzzle: What causes autism? What is the best way to teach these children? Is there a possible cure?
Enjoy the wonderful story in the link below and stay inspired!
