On today’s show, I am sharing a message from Brittany Pierce Goodman with Join Team Blake about Rett Syndrome and answering the question, “What would you like educators, working with a girl with Rett Syndrome, to know?” Feel free to share with teachers/staff!
A few things she’ll cover in the message:
1. Rett is NOT a cognitive disorder
2. It is COMPLICATED- kiddos need a COMMUNICATION PARTNER
3. PRESUME COMPETENCE and ability to learn
4. Understand the APRAXIA piece
5. Understand the ANXIETY piece
6. Teaching them to WRITE is ESSENTIAL
7. Think about the EMOTIONAL/SOCIAL piece
8. She will FEED off your ENERGY
9. Be PATIENT
10. Make her ready for the CURE
BONUS- be an ADVOCATE for helping families get the financial support they need from their district to cover this! Listen all the way to the end for this- it’s one of the most helpful things you could do for these families!
