ALT "Behavioral challenges are often nervous system challenges, and this is true for both adults and children. When our nervous system feels overwhelmed, human beings revert to survival states of functioning. In this condition, we can become reactive rather than preventive and relational." —Lori Desautels

From sea to shining sea and places in between, I have met amazing educators dedicated to all their students. #BetterTogetherIDEA #ADAC #InclusionRocks
How I wish all schools would do this! It would be so helpful to students, families, and finding lost folders left in the lunch room! :) lnkd.in/gxGpebre

It’s hard to call what I do as “work” when I’m thanked with such treasures as this original art piece, “Cheetah with a Ponytail” by a St. Paul School (Macomb, Il) 1st grader.

Macomb, Ill. families! Mark your calendars for Family STEM Night 2/15/23. Lots of fun math and science activities will be run by the amazing educators and friends of St. Paul, including Decimal Dot Cafe Owner, Ms. Kiritsy! @Codymom90 @theadac1 eventbrite.com/e/stem-night-…
Honored to be part of the first family engagement evening at St. Paul School in Macomb, IL led by Principal @Codymom90 . It was a full house with families and teachers asking for more. @theadac1 #ARisingTideLiftsAllShips #EducationIsATeamSport #InclusionRocks
Good to be back in Macomb, Illinois collaborating with Principal @Codymom90 and her amazing educators at St. Paul Elementary school. @theadac1 (I especially love all the artwork the kids give to St. Paul...look closely for the beads and artwork.) #KidsAreAwesome
I believe in angels. And I believe that today they are playing on the @BuffaloBills. This game is unbelievable!
