​​Every individual has a unique life story to share, even if they may struggle to express it verbally.

 

Our IDD and ESE School Classroom Programs were inspired by a heartfelt request from a parent who sought assistance for her non-verbal daughter. To facilitate communication of likes and dislikes, we created user-friendly "I Like" cards featuring intuitive icons tailored for individuals with special needs.

 

In settings such as healthcare facilities and classrooms, small changes can significantly enhance the experiences of those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. That’s why we developed the Special Needs Lifestory Boards, invaluable visual communication tools that empower individuals to articulate their likes, dislikes, experiences, and important life moments.

 

These Lifestory Boards serve as a platform for sharing personal narratives, meaningful highlights, aspirations, and core values. They foster self-discovery and connections with others through shared experiences, helping individuals illuminate their unique journeys.  Currently, our Lifestory Boards are being utilized across ESE Classrooms throughout Central Florida, and we are excited to further support individuals in sharing their stories.
