Occupational Therapy

If you've ever heard "don't label your child"... or, if you're worried about possible negative outcomes of using labels...

When used the wrong way, labels can definitely cause harm... but when used well, they can be SO empowering.

Personally, I am quick to use labels that help others better understand me. I have embraced many in my life.

Some people have cautioned me (with good intention) about labeling my kids. But I won't shy away from using relevant labels to help people better understand them and their needs. Particularly when it comes to education.

Also, using relevant labels in appropriate contexts reduces the stigma of those labels. 💞
