When children are on the autistic spectrum, one of the issues they may have (although this is not always the case) is communication. Some are non-verbal, and therefore can’t communicate using words at all. Others have a wide vocabulary, but they can’t process emotions and don’t understand the nuances within words and phrases that give them their true meaning.

Because of these issues, communicating with an autistic child can be difficult. It’s not, however, impossible, as many parents of autistic children will be able to tell you.

These days more businesses than ever before are turning to DAM software as a means to store their company’s digital files and most valuable assets. As businesses are becoming more and more digitized, it's commonplace for organizations to have thousands of files, ranging from data sheets and sales materials to presentations, marketing documents, product photography and video, as well as website and written content.

A Digital Asset Management system keeps all these files in one easy to manage place. Using a powerful, Google-style search criterion, employees can find the specific file they need within seconds. Version control capabilities, user groups and permission profiles keep these files up to date and protected, making DAM software an essential part of any organization. 

While the implementation of DAM software can help streamline workflows across your department or company, businesses can still benefit from someone at the helm of this powerful organization tool. This is where the role of a Digital Asset Manager comes in.

I am so excited to share a new picture book from triple Caldecott winner David Wiesner: Robobaby. In this hilarious gem, it’s big sister to the rescue when a new baby is delivered to a family of robots and the adults are flummoxed by technical difficulties. 

About the Book: A new baby's arrival is a big moment in any family, even a family of robots. Award winner David Wiesner captures the excitement and fanfare when baby Flange appears—as a crate full of components. The adults bungle the process of assembling Flange, with catastrophic results. Big sister Cathy, with her handy toolbox and advanced knowledge of robotics and IT, hasn't been allowed to help, but in the ensuing chaos she calmly clears up the technical difficulties and bonds with her new baby brother. 

Robobaby is an eye-opening blend of the familiar and the fanciful that is laugh out loud funny. Gorgeously illustrated, it joyously celebrates girl ingenuity and maker culture in a fantastically fun way.

PLUS along with it, I made a FREE printable sign that you could use as well if you would like to show your appreciation too. You could also include Door Dash or InstaCart in your essential delivery as well.
