Student Will 和 Staffer Gerard have both joined us within the past year, 和 they are shining examples of our 浆 community. Will has many interests, including being a barber, 和 Gerard fosters his growth in our residential program. You met Kristen from our Adult Program earlier this month, 和 here she is again with Colin. Both Colin 和 Kristen’s joyous energies are evident in this great photo taken at the dance.

浆 Awareness Month TIP of the Day: Positive Reinforcement

As much as possible, reinforce wanted behaviors 和 ignore unwanted behaviors – as long as they are not unsafe. Praise is a much more effective way to change behavior; criticism will often lead to more negative behaviors. Think- you get what you give! Give positive feedback 和 encour年龄ment 和 in return, you will get a happier child or adult who is more willing to work towards a positive outcome.
