We are back with a bright, glittery, colorful, and inclusive dose of hope for your professional practices. Our guest Emily Zimmer is one of the most creative, inclusive speech language therapists you’ll find. And in this episode she teaches us how we can all access more creativity in how we connect with our neurodivergent clients. One of Emily’s projects is Drag Story Hour MN. (See photos – including an AAC-using phoenix – in the show notes below). Here’s what Emily’s spouse Grady had to say about it:

“Drag Story Hour is a demonstration that each and every one of us is essential. When I was young, I only knew that [queer]  ‘people like me’ died alone and too soon. I should have known we danced. I should have known we sang, I should have known we can grow and flourish and love and be loved deeply.”

This episode is beautiful, powerful, and full of hope.
