See it here. Charlie really likes watermelon, winter or summer……though after a full day of teaching, advocating for, running after, listening to, coaxing more language from one’s child and also reading insurance forms/studies on genetics/IDEA, thinking, questioning, playing phone tag with the case manager, maybe a parent can feel a bit like this—–and it is always worth it!

    Cheers
