📚😎🐱 Storytime with Ms. Daja!

Ms. Daja brought Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses to life with our Radiant Minds kiddos! 💙✨ Storytime is more than just reading. It’s a fun opportunity to work on attending 👀, answering questions 🗣️, identifying emotions 😊, and staying engaged with a group 📖.

Just like Pete learned, sometimes a new perspective can make the day a little brighter! 😎☀️

🧪✨ Science + ABA = Learning in Action! ✨🧪

Our Radiant Minds kiddos became little scientists today! 🔬🧠 Using a candle 🕯️, water 💧, and food coloring 🌈, we explored cause and effect while targeting attending 👀, following directions 📋, waiting ⏳, making predictions 💭, and functional communication 🗣️.

The best part? Learning through FUN and meaningful engagement! 🙌🏾💙 When motivation is high, learning opportunities are everywhere!

🕯️ + 💧 + 🌈 + 🧠 = Science with a purpose! 🧪🌟

🌱✨ Planting seeds and growing minds at Radiant Minds Institute! ✨🌱

Today our kiddos got hands-on while learning about the life cycle of a seed 🌻➡️🌱➡️🌼! From exploring how a tiny seed grows into a beautiful plant to planting their very own seeds, our learners were engaged every step of the way.

Through sensory exploration, following directions, turn-taking, and lots of curiosity, we combined science and ABA learning into one exciting activity! 🧑🏽‍🌾💚

We can’t wait to watch our seeds grow just like our students continue to grow every day! 🌞🌿

🌱💚 A little dirt, a lot of learning, and tons of smiles! 😊🌻

🎉 BIG NEWS! 🎉

We are proud to celebrate the recognition of Donovan Shorts, BCBA, and Chantelle Allen, SLP, who were recently featured in the ASHA Wire for their collaborative work in interdisciplinary care! 🗣️🤝📚

Together, Donovan and Chantelle have helped demonstrate the power of collaboration between Behavior Analysts and Speech-Language Pathologists through co-treatment, shared treatment planning, and a unified approach to supporting clients. Their work highlights how professionals from different disciplines can come together, learn from one another, and ultimately create stronger outcomes for the individuals and families they serve. 💙💚

At Radiant Minds Institute, collaboration is at the heart of the mission. Donovan and Chantelle continue to model what it means to lead with respect, communication, and shared expertise in a field where interdisciplinary partnerships are not always highlighted positively. Their recognition represents a meaningful step forward in bridging gaps between professions and promoting client-centered care. 🌟

A special thank you to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association for recognizing their work and helping amplify the importance of collaborative treatment models within our communities. 👏🏾✨

Please join us in congratulating Donovan and Chantelle on this incredible accomplishment! 🎊

A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Angela for the opportunity to return for the second year in a row to present in her Special Topics class 🙌🏾💙 Your support and belief in this work does not go unnoticed

Shoutout to Governors State University 🐾📚 for creating a space where future clinicians can learn, grow, and challenge the status quo 🌱

Their message remains clear and consistent
Behavior is communication and communication is behavior 🔄

For the past year and a half, they have been intentional about breaking down silos and building bridges between ABA and speech 🌉 This is more than a presentation… it is a movement 🚀

And they are just getting started 🔥 Because our clients deserve better 🙏🏾
