Thank you Coraline

I think Awareness months are also about appreciating the parent, or the family, or the person, and the journey they have been on.

Down's Syndrome Awareness Month

Across the month friends are writing little posts to #inspirecoraline so that she can look back on this month and all the posts in future.

Routine

Coraline feels safe and knows what to expect, so this creates a good setting for her to progress developmentally.

Kevin's thoughts on the #BiBs2018

“What is important is really raising awareness and acceptance of all people, and of raising awareness and celebration of all the varied communities which exist outside of most peoples’ view.”

What if that's what you've been looking for?

Speech classes

The idea is that early intervention now will have a positive effect on later development.

Finalist, #BiBs2018, 'Fresh Voice' Category

I am very aware of the language and “voice” I use in the Blog, and to Coraline, and in everyday life. For that reason, I couldn’t be happier that “Coraline and Us” has been shortlisted for the “Fresh Voice” award.

Leadership

I felt like I was in the presence of a master as unseen threads were woven around our team and through it, and we were so gelled.

A slice of that

I love looking at photos of your pies @chefcalum; I get lost in the beauty of them! You are leading the way with your talent and innovation and we were all honoured to have a slice of that.

First trip to the Dentist

It is interesting that Coraline will expect to get her teeth between age one to two. For babies without Down’s Syndrome teeth begin to arrive from six months old onwards.
