It could be wrong, but.....
From the moment we started Square Peg, I dreamed of having a room full of books with an honor system of borrowing. No check out, no due dates - just bring a book or take home 10. No worries.
Words Matter
If a doctor tells a family their child’s brain may never develop past the infant stage, that family’s life could be dictated by that statement. But, if the same professional said “we don’t know if he can recognize you, we don’t know if he understands language. But he might.”
It’s not false hope – it’s acknowledging the humanity of the patient.
