Sensory Friendly Concert

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to lunch with Jaycie Voorhees.  She's a music therapist in Utah.  She is so great, and I am so excited for what she is doing in our community.  We're hoping that we'll be able to do some work together in the future :)

She's putting on a Sensory Friendly Concert next week.  Everyone is invited.  It sounds like a lot of fun with great entertainment and it will be interactive for the kiddos.  Bring the whole family, and help spread the word!  Jaycie is hoping that this will be something they can start doing on a regular basis if there is enough interest.

A Reflection on the Year

I will always look back on the year 2012 as a year of life changing decisions, and a year of following my dreams.  I am so grateful to be doing something that I love to do, and something that I'm completely passionate about.  I love working with children, and I love learning about the complexities of autism.  I had dreamt about starting my own practice for a few years, but this year was the magic year when my dream would become a reality.

I love that I get to work with these amazing children and their families, I am so grateful for all the families that have welcomed me into their lives.  I am grateful for the relationships I have with the families that I have worked with in the past and the families I am currently working with.  My life is definitely better because of each and every one of you.

I hope that as you look back on 2012, you can say that it truly was a good one.  One of growth and learning, one of challenges and accomplishments, one of happiness and love.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
