Quick de-escalation phrases for kids: You’re not in trouble. I want to hear your side. I’m not mad at you. What happened? How can I help you right now? Let’s talk about this.

My number 1 is always communication!! ♥️

Look at our very own Blue Devil playing with the Women’s Cavaliers team this weekend. Way to go Tae! ♿️ 🏀

March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month! CP is more common among boys than girls,Most (75%-85%) children with CP have spastic CP. This means their muscles are stiff, & as a result, their movements can be awkward. Over half (50%-60%) of people with CP can walk independently.

Abilities week is in full swing! Our kids were so engaged. Lots of fun activities and lots of learning happening! Thank you Christina for all of the planning you have done to make this week great for our kids!

These beautiful therapy dogs visited the school today for Abilities Week! We talked about the purpose of the therapy dogs in the classrooms they visited!! Those puppies got lots of pets and snuggles!! Even the staff got a nice little break!

Tap the “heart” button if you agree! 🤍

Today and on Tuesday we had “facts with coffee & donuts” for all the teachers & staff! A huge thank you to Buckeye Residential Solutions, LLC for their generous purchase of all the donuts, coffee & promotional materials for both days!

It’s been such a pleasure bringing awareness to so many disabilities at Southeast! I can’t wait to show you what today brings!!

To end our Abilities week, I had the honor of bringing out a Cleveland Cavs wheelchair basketball team. They played against our school staff with a special appearance by Mr.Dunn! Thank you to everyone who helped make this a meaningful experience for everyone!! Ohio Parent Mentors
