Calvin's 12 Days of Christmas
Family Engagement
In my quest to make Calvin's life more meaningful and increase his happiness, I am working on helping him learn about time passing and traditions. This year, I am implementing Calvin's 12 Days of Christmas with his companion (he lives there but also provides support to C). I wrote up instructions of what to do with him for each activity in the event I cannot be with them. Check it out:

I can't believe you remember him! He's doing well! He just celebrated his 50th birthday!
If you are talking to them, will you ask about his pegboard? I know it was very important to him but I don't know what it was.

This is great Rachel. I will share with the staff who remember supporting him many holidays ago. He has great palate for the season !

this is very cool! I love this idea for making life meaningful and providing a way to share experiences with others!
My own sister who has multiple disabilities and is DB loves cooking. It was the most meaningful part of our holiday together.
