Korey came home form school today with a note in his communication book that said he was “very loud”. as compared to “how loud”?  i think it is possible that different people have varying thoughts how what “loud” means and the volume of noise that constitutes “loud”!! my idea of “loud” is definitely not the same as say, Dad’s idea. to me Korey’s loud is like white noise, he knows that  only by using his words will i give him my full attention, getting “louder” or screaming does not make the grade or my attention.

wish i could be a little birdie so I could hear for myself, how loud is his “loud ” and especially his “very loud”! then, perhaps I could determine his motivation as to why he is loud and offer some suggestions as to redirect the noise to real communication. any thoughts?
