This is what I looked like AFTER therapy today!!!!

OUCH!!!

Who knew speech therapy could be such a dangerous job!!! I use to tease my sister Sarah (physical therapist) for getting beat-up by the kids on her case load. When she use to call me bragging about her newest scratches and bites, I never thought I would EVER be in the same situation! Today, one of our clients with Autism (who is non-verbal) had a melt down, hit my supervisor and dug his nails into my neck. He really is a great kid, he was just having a rough day. It's frustrating for him to not be able to communicate his needs or wants.
Next weeks lesson: No hitting or scratching.
