Just remember when your considering your position about forced treatment, addiction and mental illness is a very grey area with no clear consensus on what it actually is. Currently we define Alcohol use disorder (AUD) involves frequent or heavy alcohol drinking that becomes difficult to control and leads to problems such as in relationships, work, school, family, or other areas. Who gets to define if it causes problems in the family your ex-wife? Frequent drinking: For most men, that's defined as more than 4 drinks a day, or 14 or 15 in a week. For women, heavy drinking is more than 3 drinks in a day, or 7 or 8 per week.

Day 18 of #Gratitude5: Celebrating 5 Years of Growth 🌟 Teletherapy Meets Apraxia: Jefferson’s Journey 🌟 For nearly three years, I’ve been honored to work with Jefferson Isac, a resilient 9-year-old with severe childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). This video offers a glimpse into one of our teletherapy sessions, where we focus on mastering calabaza (“pumpkin”) using blocked practice to support motor planning. #Apraxia is a motor speech disorder where the brain struggles to coordinate precise movements for speech, even when the child knows exactly what they want to say. Therapy involves breaking down those movements and practicing them intensively to build new motor pathways. Living in #CostaRica, Jefferson faced significant challenges accessing specialized therapy. Through #teletherapy, he’s been able to receive consistent, tailored treatment in Spanish—something that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Teletherapy is building new bridges in healthcare. #ApraxiaTherapy #MotorPlanning #SpeechTherapyJourney #ApraxiaAwareness #BilingualTherapy #SLPInternational #CostaRicaSLP
