Adults With Developmental Disabilities

 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year... at least I hope it'll be a happy new year. This year has been stressful for a lot of folks. I heartily applaud all of you people who support adults with developmental disabilities. This has been a heck of a year for you, I'll bet; with day programs closed down and clients stuck at home all the time...  and dealing with clients who don't understand masks or changes in routine... and for staff who were laid off during this time... and parents!

Yikes! I'm proud of all of you for handling it.

Don't anyone forget,too, this time of year can also be stressful on clients who are excited to see their families, but can't. Or clients who can't handle all of the extra sensory input from lights and decorations and whatever. Just keep reminding yourself, "This, too, shall pass."

It's a good thing we all love this line of work.
