In a previous post (titled Newsletter), there was a comment that a reader liked our achievements section in our first newsletter. This comment reminded me of the incredible moments I have been a part of. Seeing a child use their first sign Hearing a first word spoken Watching families have conversations that at one point in time they thought they may never have. There are countless moments that have brought tears of happiness to my eyes. The families and children I work with all work tremendously hard on a regular and daily basis, being a part of the successes no matter how big or small is what motivates me to learn more and do better. If anyone has a success story they would like to share, please comment - We would all love to hear it.
