  • Cammy understands everything around her but is not yet able to walk or talk.
    She is self-conscious of her assistive communication device but agreed to use it for half of our interview. This resulted in a beautiful moment which truly captures the depth of Cammy's intelligence.

    We’re teaching our 2 year old, who is nonverbal, how to communicate consent so I just want to say my love and respect for Chris, Cammy and her family is so high right now, to not only have taught but also to have her decision respected. It’s so so so important. I hope in the future she can feel comfortable enough to want to try again as I am curious to hear more about her and from her!

    My client has Rett syndrome and she is 55yrs old. She can’t not talk but does understand SOME things I say, she can still walk but with a gait belt for my stand by assistance. She is a whole mystery, I never know what mood she will be in from day to day. Some days she will smile all day, some days she will be aggressive and violent, and some days she sits and cries. I have grown to understand cues that she’s gives. I’ve been her caregiver for a year now and I must say she has taught me patience and to be more vigilant.

  • @ReligionOfSacrifice

    I actually really liked this. I sort of just wish we'd had one more time on the couch where the conversation is a topic she likes so we can see some interaction that is positive at the end.
    I once knew a girl who usually looked with one eye at everything, but whenever I began quoting that Lion from "The Wizard of Oz" she'd throw her head back and laugh and laugh and laugh. Afterwards, she'd look at me with both eyes and smile away.
    This was an adult teenager, who if she lost her lamb would be inconsolable.
    But someone who had the same voice as her mother (who had passed away) would talk with her accent and immediately the girl would open both eyes and look at her. I hope she had or is having a nice life.
    I hope even better for this child.

    I don't even know where to start because I'm in tears right now, but I'll try my best.
    Mom: You are a WONDERFUL mother. God absolutely knew what he was doing when he made you a parent. You are a prime example of love, grace, determination, understanding, and so much more. You were made for this. Never let anyone tell you otherwise, not even yourself.
    Chris: I will never get over your ability to communicate and win over the hearts of those who need you most and whom the majority of people who readily dismiss. God is using you every day and you are truly a blessed human being. May He continue to let His light shine through you.
    Cam: God made you so perfectly; you are so lovely, so beautiful, so kind, so considerate, so intelligent, so inspirational, and most importantly, you are so loved.
    May The Lord continue to bless you all abundantly, and may you never forget how special you truly are ❤
