?? Chag Sameach! Wishing everyone a joyful Sukkot! ?? Sukkot is a time of reflection, gratitude, and connection—a perfect reminder of the values we also embrace in ABA. Just as we build temporary sukkahs to bring people together, ABA focuses on building strong connections and meaningful behaviors that support growth and resilience. In both Sukkot and ABA, small, intentional actions make a big difference—whether it's sharing a meal under the stars or celebrating small victories in behavior change. Both remind us of the importance of community, patience and creating supportive environments where everyone can thrive. Wishing joy, peace, and connection to everyone celebrating and working toward positive change! ? #Sukkot #ChagSameach #ABA #BehavioralSupport #Community #GrowthAndGratitude

???? Guided learning at home can be such a rewarding experience! Whether it's helping kids with writing, coloring, or exploring their creativity, it offers valuable opportunities for growth and connection. Sitting down with little ones as they color or write isn’t just about keeping them busy—it’s about engaging with them in meaningful ways. Through guided teaching, we can encourage problem-solving, fine motor skills, and self-expression, all while building their confidence. Take a moment today to sit with your child, ask questions, provide gentle guidance, and most importantly, enjoy the process together. Learning happens in everyday moments, and these shared experiences make the biggest impact. #ABA #LearningAtHome #CreativeDevelopment #Parenting #EarlyChildhoodEducation #GuidedTeaching Desiree Delacruz

?? Had an amazing time attending the Buddy Walk hosted by the Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society It was inspiring to see such a strong community come together to raise awareness and celebrate individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

From the joyful faces to the energetic atmosphere, it was a day filled with smiles, new friendships, and lots of fun! ?? It was an honor to be a part of this special day and witness firsthand the incredible work LDSS does to create a more inclusive world.

?? Book Recommendation: "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg If you're looking to understand the driving forces behind our daily routines, I highly recommend "The Power of Habit." Duhigg masterfully blends scientific research with engaging storytelling, exploring how habits form and how we can change them to impact our lives positively. This book is not just about personal growth; it dives into the psychology of habits and reveals how they influence everything from productivity to overall well-being. Whether you're aiming to boost your career, improve your health, or simply understand yourself better, Duhigg’s insights are invaluable. Let’s harness the power of our habits! ??? #BookRecommendation #PersonalDevelopment #ThePowerOfHabit
