💜 October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month! 💜
Some children can’t tell us what they want with words, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have something to say. 💜
Rett syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that often causes individuals to lose the ability to speak and communicate verbally. But being nonverbal does not mean having nothing to say. Every child deserves the opportunity to express their needs, feelings, and personality. 💕
✨ DID YOU KNOW? An estimated 1 in 12 people may have complex communication needs that require support beyond speech alone. That includes many children who are nonspeaking or nonverbal and need other ways to communicate. 💗
This is why the mission of Emberly’s Smiles is so important! We help bring communication boards to adaptive playgrounds so children who are nonverbal or speak different languages can connect, play, and communicate with the people around them. 🛝💜
In honor of Emberly and every child who deserves to be heard, let’s spread awareness, create inclusive spaces, and remember that every voice matters, even without words. 💕
Please share this post to help spread awareness and support our mission! 💜
