โ€ข ๐—•๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜€: Moving a finger along words or diagrams anchors attention. It minimizes external distractions and keeps the eyes locked on the target material.

Near or far, grandparents are always in our hearts. ๐Ÿ’•

In 1979, the first Sunday after Labor Day each year was proclaimed National Grandparents' Day to honor grandparents, however they came to be in our lives, whether biological or chosen.

We absolutely ๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ฉ๐—˜ our CTS Grandparents.

They step in and help out when parents need a hand. They attend sessions and work on therapy goals. They provide lots and lots of love and support. They bring joy and laughter to our CTS family.
