📚 COMING SEPTEMBER 18! 🎉

We are so excited to share something we’ve been working on with our AAC users in mind. 💛

Kona’s adventure series was created to make story time more accessible, engaging, and meaningful for children who use AAC devices to communicate.

Instead of expecting a child to navigate through page after page of vocabulary while listening to a story, the book focuses on three core words at a time—giving children repeated opportunities to find, practice, and use those words as part of the story.

The goal isn’t just to read the book.

It’s to help children experience that their words have meaning. That pressing a button can change an interaction. That they can participate in the story instead of simply listening to it.

And, of course, Kona gets to have a little adventure along the way. 🐾📖

✨ Go, Go, Go! releases September 18!

We can’t wait to get this one into the hands of AAC users, families, therapists, teachers, and classrooms.

Because every child deserves books they can be part of—not just books that are read to them. 💛

We have some exciting news to share with our community! Jill Sanders, MA, BCBA from Hands in Motion and Dr. Mariah Schreven, DNP, ARNP, CPNP-PC, PMHS, CALC neurodivergent parenting coach from Uplift ADHD Clinic have teamed up to provide a one-of-a-kind parent training program: "Parenting Neurodiverse Children - A holistic Approach"! This is a fantastic resource for families looking for deeper support and connection.

Starting Thursday, May 28th, from 5-6 PM, this 12-week program takes a holistic approach to parenting neurodiverse children. We know that every journey is different, which is why this group replaces generic parenting clichés with clinical neuroscience to help you understand the "why" behind your child’s brain. We move past behavior management to implement evidence-based, neuro-affirming tools that foster deeper connection and evidence-based support for neurodivergent families.

Interested? Register here: https://forms.gle/NVac9eiKRGEvQXuk9

Contact us to see if insurance covers the program! If not covered by insurance, the cost for the full 12-week session is $250. Mark your calendars for May 28th and get ready to grow together.
