This week is another photographed journey, but this time we’re going to be moving past the challenges experienced in providing teletherapy to discuss the goals and therapeutic interventions for Tony’s NMT.

Surviving My Post Amazon World
Diagnosis labels shouldn’t matter to people we don’t know…but they do. I wish I was able to walk into a store without having to explain so much as one of my son’s conditions…but I can’t. If you’re a parent of young children, you know…no matter how much you treasure your kiddos, store shopping with them…
