Even when I have moments viewing her brilliance. Thank you for the reminder that even when I don't see it, she is still awesome.

My son who is non-verbal (and has Down syndrome) is using AAC now (he uses Dynavox Compass) and he has a couple of small breakthroughs recently and it is pretty amazing to see it happening. Every day he uses his talker more and tells us things and it's so great to see him speak his mind. I know he has so much locked up in there that he wants to say and I hope with AAC he can do just that.<br /><br />Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913754866057778005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675590510792979183.post-69284047215051636422015-05-29T01:07:53.521-04:002015-05-29T01:07:53.521-04:00She's got the roller derby in her.She's got the roller derby in her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675590510792979183.post-62963852374606733642015-05-28T21:48:02.312-04:002015-05-28T21:48:02.312-04:00Very inspiring!

Of course, I teared throughout, and remembered the night when my son, now 26, was 12 and I had that moment, not as dramatic as yours, but that remains burned in my memory. I thought I had maintained my expectation of accomplishment, but apparently it had been slowly diminishing over a number of years. Then I was brought up short by an "AHA" evening (stimulated by a "neutral" outsider) and have returned to that experience many times since as a reminder. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675590510792979183.post-29195996036121382832015-05-28T12:28:22.555-04:002015-05-28T12:28:22.555-04:00This is such a powerful post from a brilliantly in...This is such a powerful post from a brilliantly intelligent parent.
