First of all, I want to say that this was totally Gavin's idea. He's wants to share something that is helping him to manage his anger and frustration. I really think he likes the idea of being able to help other kids that are challenged by anger and frustration. I'm really proud of him. :-)
Here's a little background. This came about the other day while at therapy. Because Gavin is struggling with neurological degradation, one of the issues is that he has lost some control over his tongue. This means that sometimes he can be difficult to understand. This can be very frustrating for him, *especially* if someone asks him to repeat himself. That's what prompted him to work with his
speech therapist and create this list.
He came up with this and she helped him to physically put it together and print it out.
He's so excited to have created this little *anger management *cheat sheet and asked if I would help him share it with the *whole **world*, as he put it.
So here you go. Below, you will find Gavin's little explanation video about what this is and how and why he uses it. I only helped a little tiny bit towards the end. Below that you will find a picture of his *anger management cheat **sheet*. By clicking on the image you will be able to download a copy in .pdf format. Gavin would like you to have ability to get your own copy of his plan, so you can use it for yourself, if you think it could help. :-)Lizze and I both are so proud of how well he's been doing recently. I think maybe, providing him with the means to help others can help him to not only feel good about himself but also feel like he's making a difference.Please feel free to leave any and all positive feedback you would like to. He will be thrilled to know what you think.
