Children's Communication Corner

@RegenceWA THANK YOU!

@ChildComCorner Hi, Shana. Thank you for reaching out. I've passed your information along to our Provider Relations team and a representative will be in touch with you as soon as possible. -SW

@RegenceWA I need to speak with credentialing ASAP! I am unsure of when we, as providers, lost the "privilege" of reaching contracting directly, but this is an emergency situation re: my contract status. shana@communicationcorner.org / 206-371-9133

@MikeKorins Love it!

@ChildComCorner My special interest is THE BEATLES. I’m asking everyone who follows me to watch my version of “Lady Madonna. “ Thank You. youtu.be/oBSmlQXuYrU

@Premera I have been a PPO through Premera since 2000 and MY CLIENTS just received notice that I am no longer a PPO effective June 27, 2024. I have not received any notification. I am now not able to contact provider relations via phone, as this service has ended? PLEASE PM ME!

"some autistic children learn language in a range of inherently atypical ways, including without neurotypical joint attentional skills" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13… editorial on gestalt language (& what if autistics generally learn in "inherently atypical ways" given the opportunity?)

Sensory Processing Disorder does exist. It's real. Our kids are not bad kids. Our kids do not lack discipline. We are not making excuses for behaviors. A meltdown is not a tantrum. Sensory Processing Disorder can cause extreme reactions and anxiety. Children with SPD are not spoiled and they do not do it for attention. SPD does not affect everyone the same way. Please be understanding and supportive. ~Jeanette Loftus …ryprocessingdisorderparentsupport.com #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensorydifferences #sensoryprocessing #SPD #ADHD #autism

Which autistic or autism related organisations would you recommend to others to follow?

@MikeKorins Already done!

@ChildComCorner Thanks so much for your kind words !! If you haven’t done so already, I would be so happy if you subscribed to my YouTube channel: youtube.com/mikekorins Great new music to be posted soon!

@ChildComCorner Plz watch. I’m autistic and whenever I leave my home I can’t help feeling that I don’t belong. That’s why I love the song “Man In The Mirror”. It reminds us that that we all need to help build a world that is inclusive for everyone. youtube.com/watch?v=Po11R0…:

I really don't care who people vote for, but I do care about the mental and physical wellbeing for our children - especially our children who are more at risk for abuse. rawstory.com/corporal-punis…

To any aspiring designers who would like to make a difference - one of my favorite families is offering a scholarship to do just this! The winner will also receive travel & accommodations to attend the Runway of Dreams @ NY fashion week!

Please consider backing this amazing graphic novel re: grief! Since reviewing I have found I NEED this in the clinic! Beautiful & honest! Check out RIP Corey: My Friend Died. It Sucks!-- Short Graphic Novel by Chris Buchanan, MA, CCC-SLP on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/ripco…

Loving Snoop's positive affirmation music! If we all reminded ourselves of these daily . . .

@michaelscat2 Our cat does this as well. We think she is telling us that she is hungry (more likely that she can see the bottom of her dish). She will point wands, toys, etc. all leading to her dish, often with a toy inside. It certainly gains the desired attention.

Sometimes my cat likes to put his toys into his food bowl. Can anyone tell me why?
