If you’re like me you grew up hearing the phrase, “Don’t assume, because it makes and ass out of you and me!” Even saying it now causes me to flash back to my mom shaking her finger in my face (hahahaha, love you mom).
Today, I’m going to flip the script and tell you that there are a few key assumptions that you WANT to make when encountering an individual with unique needs, especially adults.
The catalyst for this episode is that I've had the pleasure of recently having powerful conversations with certified behaviorists and the founder of Rapid Prompt Method (RPM), Soma Mukhopadhyay. RPM is powerful method of communication and teaching that I'm now certified in, by the way. These incredible women stirred up MAJOR insights around why individuals with special needs are not being offered the same opportunities as their neurotypical peers. In short, they blew my mind.
The best part is you and I, right now, can be in charge of creating a shift for this population so that they achieve their full potential and allow their brilliance to show.
