Let it snow! Let it snow!
Can’t hold it back anyway.
Let it snow! Let it snow!
Bundle up & go out to play.
We don’t care if the others play.
Let the snow rage on.
The cold never bothered us anyway.

On this ❄️❄️❄️ day, we wanted to share this to warm your heart.

Show up. Show up for others. Show up for yourself. Giving back is where it’s at.

❣️The young people in our community are making us PROUD. They spend their spare time around their studies learning about people who learn/think differently. They strive to understand how they can make their world a more inclusive place.

❣️Our interns find out very quickly that there are some blessings in life that you can only experience from giving your time away to serve others. We often find our own purpose in service.

❣️And in the end, deep personal connections are made that last a lifetime. It’s not about service hours or required volunteerism. It’s about PEOPLE, and those people warm our hearts everyday.

❤️ So, way to go CE Byrd High School interns. Thinking about each of you WARMS our hearts on this ❄️❄️❄️ day.

🌟 Our favorite pharmacist! 🌟
If you are in need of medication in preparation of this winter storm, call our favorite pharmacist. We believe in supporting locally. We desire a pharmacist who knows the person/family by name. Our learners need consistency, timeliness, and personalization. Heidi is our pick!

Apotheworx isn’t owned by a corporation. It’s owned by a local pharmacist who truly cares about this community. 👋 Heidi Cram.

And you can feel that difference in every interaction and every time you walk through our doors. Make the switch to Apotheworx and experience what it’s like to be part of our family.

Hats off to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!
🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩

Our school & center is closed tomorrow, but remember- this is a DAY ON, not a DAY OFF! What does that mean?

MLK Day is designated as a National Day of Service, encouraging all of us to volunteer & serve our community. This is Dr. King's vision- unity and mutual respect for all. We are always inspired by his message of hope & equality. We are inspired by the peaceful, yet persistent actions of Dr. King that led to change for all. He believed that service to others is fundamental to building stronger communities, so let’s honor that belief by committing to service & taking action to make our own community a better place.

No complaining. No negativity. Just action in love. CS is committed to that dream. ❤️

What makes CS different? Well, we believe quite a few things are critical in making the magic happen for our learners.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
One of them is that our team of educators and behavior analysts have “offices on wheels”. About 85-95% of the time, clinicians are on the floor with learners and staff making clinical decisions in real time based on the responses to instruction & organized activities. The rest of their time is spent with caregivers collaborating.

There are nice (and critical) side effects from this approach, such as incredible rapport & trust between the learners & instructors. All learners have great familiarity with behavior analysts, therapists, & educators who are consistent and predictable in their own behavior. It also provides layers of support & counsel to staff who work so hard to give our learners the best of everything we have to offer. This level of teamwork is how you keep SAFETY & COMPASSIONATE CARE the number one priority.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
So, if you hear rolling desks and chairs up and down our hallways, just know it’s our team of BCBA’s in action. It’s just how we roll.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Our staff is so talented in a multitude of ways. We’re so proud of each of one them! Not only do they work tirelessly for the people they serve, they find time for other hobbies outside of work that keep them balanced.

📸 Pictured front & center in the SB Magazine is our very own Elizabeth Armstrong. Isn’t she wonderful? The kids sure think she is!
