🌟 Win Wednesday! 🌟

We’re so proud of one of our students and the amazing progress he’s making with his programming! 💙This week, he’s been showing growing independence and communication in so many meaningful ways — using the bathroom on his own and turning the light on, washing his hands with very few prompts, and even cleaning up by wiping tables when he makes a mess.

He’s also communicating more intentionally, using his words, vocalizations, gestures, and signs to let others know what he wants — from asking for the swing, to telling us when he wants to leave the room. He’s pointing to make choices, attending and interacting more with others, and visually attending to his words when requesting .We’re especially excited to see him mastering goals and making progress with self-regulation.

These wins reflect his hard work, consistency, and the power of individualized programming. We couldn’t be more proud of him!

Stay tuned for many more Wednesday wins coming each week!

✨Wednesday Win ✨

🚀✨ Out of This World Learning! ✨🚀

Today our students had an unforgettable experience — we were joined on a live video call by a real astronaut! 👨‍🚀🌎

He shared what it’s like to launch into space, travel to the International Space Station, and live there for six months. Students and staff got to watch clips from his mission, see life in microgravity, and ask him all their big questions during a Q&A session.

Experiences like this inspire curiosity, spark imagination, and remind our students that their dreams can be as big as the universe. 🌟

What an amazing day! 🚀💫

Congratulations to our Clinic and Community Employee of the Month - Alison Karnoski

Alison is an RBT who works in both our Therapeutic Education Center as well as our Community, home based program. She has been such an exemplary employee since I begin working with her. Not to mention she works Friday night sessions, from 5-7pm, and has some of the most consistent attendance I have seen from an RBT. Her notes are spectacular and she never needs a reminder to get them converted. While in session her trial counts are high and her IOA is always great. She’s dedicated to the needs of her client and makes great suggestions when things need some tweaking. She is quick to communicate and always with a positive attitude. Alison is doing a really great job! We are so happy to have her!!

🌟 Win Wednesday 🌟

Staff Submission:

Today’s win is one that truly touches my heart. One of my incredible clients stepped back into the classroom for the first time in a long time, and he’s absolutely thriving.

Change can be scary, and taking that first step isn’t always easy. But watching him walk in with courage, adapt, and embrace this new chapter with such strength has been nothing short of breathtaking. His journey reminds us that growth happens when we believe in ourselves, have people who believe in us, and keep pushing forward, even when things feel uncertain.

I am so proud of him and deeply inspired by his progress. Moments like this remind me why I do what I do… to witness resilience, celebrate courage, and cheer for every victory, big or small.
