Visiting the Dry Tortugas National Park
We were able to go on a family vacation this summer and check out the Dry Tortugas off our bucket list. It was such a beautiful park and we felt blessed to get to experience it as a family with my parents.

Having the best day at Summer-waves water park
zhlédnutí 2,7KPřed měsícem
This was just what we needed. It’s been difficult matching my work schedule with Kaidales clinic schedule, to find a full day off together. We finally got a day off to drive up to Summerwaves water park in Jeckyll Island Georgia, and it was a blast. Kaidales loved it and has been asking to go back every day since☺️

Going back to ABA after a year off
zhlédnutí 7KPřed rokem
Whew, I almost can not believe we have gone a year without ABA. I’m really proud of all the work Kaidale, and myself, have put into his programs at ABA throughout the years. So much so that we were able to hold our own for a significant period of time while transitioning from one clinic to another. We also have had an incredible behavioral specialist that went above and beyond in helping us get...
Happy to be back at school!✏️
zhlédnutí 4,5KPřed rokem
After a long, bumpy summer, we are so happy to be back at school! Kaidale LOVES school and being around his peers. The structure of his day is so good for him and I could be more happy and proud. He’s doing great so far and I’m so glad we’re getting back on track!
Difficult Summer Break
zhlédnutí 7KPřed rokem
Kaidale and I had a particularly difficult summer break this year. It seemed like it kept getting worse instead of better and I felt really defeated and discouraged. We had some moments of fun but overall, there was lots of regression and aggressive behaviors from him. He just wasn’t himself, constantly on edge and upset. It broke my heart seeing him like that, but was also hard to deal with as...
His 12th birthday pool party

We had such a great time celebrating Kaidales 12th birthday. With friends from baseball and school, the pool party was so much fun.
He helped plan his own birthday party🎈🎂
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed rokem
Kaidale LOVES a party. He gets so excited for all the aspects of it, from the planning to the presents, happy birthday song, all of it. He is so social and I was happy to get to plan a nice little pool party for his birthday. He did a great job helping me pick out some cupcakes and get the decorations ready🥰❤️
Extinction burst of behaviors after restricting tablet time
zhlédnutí 4,9KPřed rokem
It can be so stressful watching your child go through a difficult time. Especially when there’s a significant communication barrier like with my autistic son. Luckily I didn’t have to worry or wonder too much this time when Kaidale started having a rough week. Thanks to years worth of studying his behavior patterns with our favorite aba specialist, I pretty much knew it was an extinction burst ...
Targeting rigid Autism behaviors with a behavior shaping technique
zhlédnutí 4,9KPřed rokem
I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Kaidale and I have spent a lot of time over the years in therapy figuring out what works best for us. Autism parenting comes with a unique set of challenges and we’ve been blessed to have a dedicated team of aba professionals in our corner. It’s taken a while but we have a great routine of different techniques we use that really just encompasses how I approac...

    Seems like an amazing trip!! My favorite part of Key West was feeding the giant tarpon fish. I used to be the same way as Kaidale with goggles and getting my face wet. I only noticed this summer that the sound of being underwater really bugs me, so I'm looking into getting some swimming earplugs. Keep trying things and see what works for him. 😊❤

    I went snorkeling so far out in the ocean from Key Largo in 1998. I had a camera with me so I just started diving down and getting shots of everything and unbeknownst to me I had swam up close to two Barracuda for photos! We got back on the boat and one of the guys said did you see those Barracudas?! We went to a one hour photo in Key West and sure enough I photographed them up close and personal!! 😂

    What a beautiful place. I love the clear water. I would love to go sometime. My son may not enjoy it. He has high functioning autism and used to love to swim and now doesn’t. He likes to wear hats and sunglasses. I know a lot of kids with autism don’t like that at all.
