Erin Cosse Grashoff is a special needs mom that posted a Proud Moment and Triumph on our Facebook Page. She said, “My boy, finally…at 15 years old, tolerated having his teeth brushed! A HUGE STEP for us, we‘ve been working on this for over a decade. (LITERALLY) Shout out to his teacher, therapists, and paraprofessional, it takes a village.”

This got me curious…

It had taken them over a decade? What perseverance! I wondered what their morning routine looked like prior to her son being able to tolerate brushing his teeth….. what was the “vibe” in their house? What finally worked? I wanted to hear more from her. Listen in to our conversation.

Dane’s success with the assistance of his paraprofessional, Mr. Desmond Jackson, and his teacher, Mr. Tim Walters.
