Two weeks ago, two of our speech therapists and two sets of parents secretly planned to have our/their clients/sons meet on Zoom for a surprise social time. These two little fellas have become fast friends over the past few months seeing each other in the ABT clinic so the therapists conspired to continue their bond online. When we all came on, they were so surprised when they saw each other on Zoom!. They couldn’t talk nor show each other their own toys from home fast enough....
