From Marian Jones, Sultan, WA:

My son, Curran, was born with cerebral palsy and has poor oral motor control. We have used bandanas tied around his neck to help him manage his occasional drool and keep his shirts clean.

It works great and looks more like a wardrobe accessory when we match the color of the bandanas to his shirts.”

 

From Sherri Klennert, Gold Bar, WA:

“Jeremy has always had sensitive hearing. We recently purchased earphones to help reduce noise levels and increase his comfort. While earphones are not always necessary, he has a choice when sounds seem to bother him.

So far, when we go to strange places, or even at home when he appears affected by the surrounding noises, earphones are a beneficial option. He totally enjoys having them. The overall effect is reducing agitation caused by surrounding noises and they help him remain calm. Now, when a friend calls, I can talk on the phone and have an uninterrupted and pleasant conversation!”

About the Author

I have a passion for working with people who care for those who are in need of some assistance to live a quality life and pursue their dreams and goals. I take care of my son, Mike. As the mother of an adult I want his dreams to come true and I make it my responsibility to figure out how to make that happen for him. I love hearing other caregiver’s stories about how they care for their clients and help them live a quality life and pursue their dreams. And I love writing their stories to share with everyone.
