Ask any parent what their aspirations and dreams for their children are. You’ll realize every parent wants their child to become independent and joyous. The challenge lies in unlocking a child’s potential as they grow up. While there are many strategies out there, one scientifically proven therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis or ABA, stands out.

What #Selfcare Looks Like in My Life

As a father to three incredible children on the autism spectrum, my journey has been filled with unique challenges and profound learning experiences.

So yeah, that happened

For the last few days, the boys and I were in Tennessee, on vacation with my entire family. We all had a really good time but two days before we were supposed to leave to come home, Emmett broke his arm in a tubing accident. I posted the video below on IG briefly explaining what happened. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cxi8qBPRe-N/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== The whole event was pretty awful. Emmett was miserable and on overload from everything that was going on. Long story short, he was so brave and handled himself so well. I couldn’t be prouder of him. Emmett’s okay and managed to avoid surgery. I felt it was best to get him home ASAP, so we left a day early. Emmett and I made a few stops on the way home. Elliott and Gavin…
