GUEST - Steven Lamprinos on Autism, "Every Moment Counts"

"Communication, Knowledge, and Growth" Steven Lamprinos talks about raising a son with Autism, the patience required and the hoops you have to jump through to get the help you need. • "Good To Grow" program - most amazing program! • ABA - Applied Behavioral Analysis • Healthcare available - so difficult to navigate the system • "Special Needs kids are an afterthought." • "Little Hands, Little Feet" • Limited Resources, it takes so much time to find the resources available • Devices to help with communication - must have consistency • Occupational Therapy is such a great help, like water therapy • Parroting or Using narration to help build language skills • So many horror stories • Any changes are very difficult • Hopes for the Future It's so important to discover what makes each child blossom. You will have to be your child's greatest advocate. Resources: • Search the internet for speech devices - you can find some that are "free" • Good To Grow: https://centerfordevelopingkids.com/special-programs/ongoing-programs/good-to-grow/ Feel free to message Steven on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/steven.lamprinos
