A gentle giant who loves to be a my footrest and snuggle with anyone that will let her, especially the kids. Check Out My Instagram Feed

Here's a great tool for kids with expressive language challenges Emmett's occupational therapist at Akron Children's Hospital, has been working with him in his ability to utilize expressive language. Emmett's light-years ahead of most NT kids his age and even older, in the speech and intellect categories. With that said, he struggles tremendously when it comes to expressive language.
