Today Kim joins us on the podcast. Kim is a veteran home educator and mother of 8 really awesome kids. All but 1 of her kids are adults, and then there is Nathanial. He could teach us a lot about communicating our thoughts and feelings. Kim and her husband Rich adopted Nathanial in the summer of 2013. I will direct you to Kim's blog to read hours of page-turning documentation of Nathanial's life. You can check it out by searching " holdmywords" or\\xa0 "kimrankin.com". Nathanial's journey has been anything but easy. He has been nonverbal or as Kim calls it non-speaking since birth and has learned to communicate through a device similar to an iPad.\\xa0 He now has over 2000 words registered in his "talker". After you listen to today's show we highly encourage you to carve out some time and soak up some wisdom from the Rankins. Kim is a very gifted wordsmith. You can thank us later.\\xa0
