Tapping Into Communication and Positive Activity

Island Treasures

This episode follows the compelling caregiving story of Lori Rogers. Lori is a successful businesswoman with three adult children. Her second child was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and he was a non-speaker.
In 2011 her eldest child had a sports-related injury resulting in post-concussion symptoms which added a different aspect to Lori's already full caregiving life. But, it was through this accident that Lori was introduced to wellness resources that helped her stay positive through all of the transitions she was facing.
She has adopted 6 positive activities that she shares in the epiosde - activities that personally help her frame her day with positivity and a raised happiness level. Lori has a business called "Positive Activity".
Then in 2022 there was yet another shift in her caregiving story - when through the book "Underestimated: An Autism Miracle" she was introduced to "Spelling to Communicate". As Craig was unable to speak to communicate this proved to be a game changer for them. Lori has a message to other parents of non-speaking children with autism - "they're listening!"
You'll want to hear how exciting this revelation has been for them as it has unlocked an amazing connection that enriches their relationship - and helps Craig to no longer have to eat green beans!
