Hi, I'm Sarah đź‘‹
I'm a mom to an amazing non-verbal son. After many years of parent training style therapy I decided to start this blog to share my first hand experience and things I have learned along the way. I focus on strength-based development and building community.
Practical.
Science-Rooted.
Autism Support.
Navigating the spectrum with clear definitions and literal language. Because knowledge is protection.
