This morning I was having a conversation (well, more like a brief verbal interaction) with RJC.
She clearly wanted to tell me something, but I was not understanding. I asked a question for clarification, but she didn’t understand me. I rephrased my question and she stared at me for a minute and hesitantly and slowly responded, carefully choosing her words and I could literally see her concentration. I gave it a minute to think it through and then repeated back to her what she told me in my own simple wording.
She was so happy.
She shared something that happened and I understood and acknowledged her.
A reminder that while she’s come so far, communication is truly a huge struggle.
For those wondering, she was apparently getting a glass from the cupboard and knocked it over but caught it.
