Finding Words in Unexpected Ways: Maggie & Chet’s Story
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if communication started long before spoken words?
In this heartfelt conversation, Maggie shares the story of her son, Chet, a boy with a deep love for letters, words, and language. Before consistently speaking out loud, Chet was already connecting through writing words on the fridge, arranging letters, and expressing himself in ways that were entirely his own.
Maggie opens up about her journey as a parent, the small moments that became big victories, and the joy of watching communication unfold in unexpected and beautiful ways. The conversation is honest, funny, emotional, and full of reminders that there is no single “right” path for growth.
This episode celebrates connection, individuality, and the many different ways students find their voice.
