The Arc of Ohio is the states oldest and largest organization that advocates for people with disabilities and their families. We talk about what the Arc is, and how families across the state of Ohio can access their services for free. The Arc is here to help and this episode will highlight some of the many ways they can.

Featured in this week’s episode:
Goally
Goally is a digital visual scheduler, AAC talker, token board system, and more all rolled into one easy-to-use app. It's made for unique thinkers like autistic kids and kids with ADHD. Kids together with Goally can conquer daily routines and therapy practice without prompting from mom or dad. This reduces that feeling of nagging your kids, and it also grants your kids some autonomy to sort of manage their own lives. Goally can easily be used on your child's existing device or with Goally's optional and affordable, dedicated device. In my house, we found that the dedicated device seems to work better for my son, so that's what we use.
