“I meant to tell you it’s not Global Delay anymore. It’s now a diagnosis of Intellectual Disability,” I said to the nurse as she was presenting her portion of the IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for my son. She quickly questioned, “who gave you that diagnosis?” To which I replied, “he just had some testing done through developmental at (the hospital), and he was given that when they reevaluated his autism diagnosis.” She looked at me through the zoom meeting asking,

FabuRocks was created and inspired by our daughter FABU to help her with speech delay, learning disabilities, and ADHD at home. At the age of 4, FABU was diagnosed with speech delay and immediately started going to speech therapy twice a week. After 2 years and minimal improvements, FABU was in 1st grade and testing 3-grade levels below in speech and reading. By 2nd grade, FABU showed ADHD and learning disabilities symptoms such as dyslexia and language processing issues. An IEP (Individualized Education Plan) was developed to help meet her needs and goals at school. We decided to take matters into our own hands as we faced our biggest fear: FABU in 1st grade, with a considerable delay in communication, knowing that this could lead to or trigger further mental health issues later in life we wanted to avoid. This led us to use gaming, unboxing videos, and live streaming as the main therapeutic tool that produced quicker and more significant improvement than we ever imagined. Now that FABU is older, she is no longer embarrassed for us, as a family, to openly discuss the obstacles she faces daily. After seeing her significant improvement over the years, she now understands the importance of being verbal about her disabilities, what we do and how we do it to empower others like her. Currently, FABU is in 6th grade and testing at grade level in reading and vocabulary and getting A's and B's in all her classes. She's social, outspoken, frequently participates in class, and is passionate about Math and literature. FABU's accomplishments as a content creator are many, from being the youngest YouTube Gaming Partner at the age of 7 to currently being the Youngest FaceBook Gaming partner and sponsored by several of the biggest name brands in gaming such as Turtle Beach, ROCCAT, and G-Fuel. She's the founder and leader of the FabuArmy, a clan that empowers and supports young content creators like herself. This is why we have decided to create a Podcast, and our goals are to educate parents, create awareness, and for FABU's voice to be heard as we share our story, how we got here, and where we are headed. We will openly discuss our experiences, methods, techniques, what has worked, what has NOT worked, our frustrations, how we overcome our challenges, and our plans. We invite you to join us on our daily journey via our YouTube channel, where we post a new video daily, our Twitter updates, our Instagram posts, our website event news, our Discord community, during our FaceBook Gaming live streams, and via our weekly Podcast.

As we close this year, we feel it is important to two very important societal problems; Bullying & Suicide.  In this special edition of the Thinking Out Loud Radio Show, we dedicate this show to the cause of Anti-Bullying & Suicide Prevention. Two very important causes that need more and more of our collective attention. And, yes it seems that during the holiday season more and more people make the ultimate choice to the end their lives for so many different reasons. During tonight's show, we talk with a young man who not only was bullied as a teenager in school. but has found a way to turn this test of his childhood into a phenomenal testimony. Justin Coates, Author & Anti-Bullying Activist was bullied for 7 years because he had an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for reading and math comprehension. He found that nature and animal photos is what kept him motivated through his ordeal.  He currently is now working towards entrepreneurship and advocating against bullying. He has published his first children’s book "Please Don’t Tease" and has a T-shirt Brand called S.T.U.P.I.D. You've got to tune to the show to hear what this powerful acronym means. His goal is to help others who are struggling and trying to make it who have been affected by bullying.    We also discuss the recent suicides of Fox News Detroit Meteorologist Jessica Starr; and how a new method of Lasik Surgery could've been the cause. As well as a 9 yr old young black girl who committed suicide because she was being bullied in school. These are just some of the recent causalities of suicide that we have experienced, and we believe it is so important that if you are feeling depressed or having anxiety, or you are being bullied in school or in the workplace that you seek help. Bullying and Suicide are co-joined problems that we as a community need to address. Join us for this powerful show.

Students with disabilities, under  the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (2004), have the right to a free and appropriate public education, which means they are ensured they will get the needed related services and special education accommodations.  But who are these students and what are these services?  Episode 10 explores how students are identified as special education, what services are legally required to be provided, funding for these services, the difference between a 504 and an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) and other questions related to Special Education.

Imagine that you show up to an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meeting, whether you are a parent or a professional, and you see a goal like this: "Bonnie will learn the letters of the alphabet."

Dr. Greene answered some interesting questions today (don't forget, you can ask questions between programs by emailing Dr. Greene through the contact form at www.livesinthebalance.org). The first email was from a mom trying to have some input into her daughter's IEP (Individualized Education Plan) at school...she was wondering if she had the "right" to have input and, if so, how to do it in a way that didn't alienate the folks at school. The second question was from a mom who'd seen Dr. Greene speak recently and was trying Plan B at home. This mom was already beginning to recognize times when she was slipping into Plan A ("catching" oneself using Plan A is a very positive early indicator of success with the CPS model), and her first attempts at Plan B needed just a little fine-tuning. The key ingredient, of course, is persistence. Another very informative program...listen to it whenever you like!
