Meet Brendan!!! Brendan was diagnosed with autism at 13months. He is the youngest child to be diagnosed in Arizona. His mom Gina, saw signs at 9 months and was able to get him evaluated early. When we started filming him 5 years ago he had just turned 3 and was 2 years into therapy. He had about 40hrs of in home therapy a week, which included ABA, Speech and feeding therapy. He had a few words but was mostly using his communication device to communicate. Brendan is a great example of why early intervention is so important. He no longer has ABA therapy, he is main streamed in school and he is talking up a storm.
Brendan made a video to introduce himself, we will share that tomorrow. Do you have any questions for Brendan and Gina? #autism #autistic #autismawareness #asd #nonverbal #autismfamily #autismlove #autismdocumentary #documentary #docuseries #acrossthespectrum #autismspeaks #nonverbalcommunication #earlyintervention #therapy #aba #abatherapy #speechtherapy #travel #travelbug #travelwithkids #adventure #adventurewithkids #neverstopexploring @brendanslife @schroedercreations
Today, May 14th is Apraxia Awareness Day!
Apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder that makes it hard to speak. It can take a lot of work to learn to say sounds and words better. There are a few studies that have found 2/3 of kids on the spectrum have Apraxia of speech. The kids of Across the Spectrum follow that pattern. We follow 9 kids and 6 of them have been diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech. #apraxiaofspeech #apraxiaawareness #apraxia #autism #autistic #autismapraxia #asd #autismawareness #autismlove #autismmom #autismfamily #nonverbalautism #nonverbal #blueforapraxia #travel #travelphotography #travelwithkids #adventure #adventurewithkids #neverstopexploring
Everyone wish @brendanslife a big #happybirthday! We got to wish this now 8 year old a happy birthday by #carparade. We represented all the kids from #acrossthespectrum. It was so great to get out of the house and see him and @schroedercreations while still #socialdistancing. Happy Birthday Brendan, I’m so proud of all you have achieved❤️ #autism #autistic #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismdocumentary #documentary #birthdayparty #socialdistanceparty #autismfamily #autismlove #autismmom #travel #travelbug #travelwithkids #adventure #adventurewithkids #neverstopexploring #arizona
5 years ago today we filmed Conor for the first time which means we started filming #acrossthespectrum. I had been filming Henry and I for 6 months but I was finally ready to meet other families and film other kids like Henry. Look at that #smirk, he had just put his blue hands on the wall. This is my favorite shot of him. He was so little, so hard to believe I’ve been #filming him every 6 months for #5years. #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autistic #nonverbalautism #nonverbal #nonverbalcommunication #asd #spd #autismlove #autismmom #autismfamily #autismfamilies #documentary #autismdocumentary #film #camera #travel #travelbug #travelwithkids #adventure #adventurewithkids #neverstopexploring

Under the #orangetree. The last 6 weeks have been very busy and hectic for us. Trying to figure out our new normal isn’t easy. Henry needs so much attention and his #sensoryneeds met that it’s hard to sit even for a minute. Today, he sat with me in the shade under the orange tree. I looked up and saw this, it was #beautiful to me. What do you find beautiful right now. Take a second and look around, you will be happy you did❤️ #autism #autistic #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismmom #autismlove #autismfamily #tree #orange #outside #sun #arizona #beauty #beatifulday #travel #travelbug #travelwithkids #adventure #adventurewithkids #nonverbal #nonverbalautism #sensory #sensoryplay #clouds #neverstopexploring

We are working on a special #covid19 episode for #acrossthespectrum. Should be done by the of this month. Here is a small clip from our group Zoom we did with all the moms from the show. In this short clip, @aelizabethadams is telling us that the #therapist are taking all the right precautions when they come into your home, because these therapies are medically necessary. #autism #autistic #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismdocumentary #autismfamily #autismlove #autismandcovid19 #routine #zoom #autismmom #autismspeaks #documentary #documentaryfilm #travel #travelbug #travelwithkids #adventure #neverstopexploring #arizona #massachusetts
