The Golden Difference in My Students' Lives

"First, let me tell you about myself. I am special education teacher (Ryoof Saleh), specializing in intellectual disabilities, an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). My ambition was to major in autism, but that was not available to me. Did that stop me from reaching my ambition? Absolutely not, because the reason for my love for the world of autism was my champion (Hessa, my niece) and my first child. She was, and still is, the primary reason for my determination to learn about this beautiful and exceptional world, the world of autism."

"I will tell you about my life in training my little ones before my beginning with Ynmo: "

"I was living in very deep distraction between searching and experimenting with many scales, tests, and assessments for children to find what suited my little ones and helped them develop in a positive and structured way. It was a very exhausting period for me and for my little ones too. I used to always pray: (O Allah, guide me to what will help me train my little ones and benefit them). "

"Praise be to Allah, a few months ago, Allah ordained that He made it easy for me to speak and communicate with Ms. Abrar Mutawalli. She was the reason, after Allah, that she guided me to (the wonderful Ynmo family). Now, we will move on to tell you about my comfortable experience with Ynmo."

"My journey with Ynmo began in month 4 of year 1443. The first meeting to explain the Ynmo application, how to use it, and what Ynmo is, was presented to us by one of the female staff members. Her introductory style was truly wonderful, making me feel part of the Ynmo family. Then, about a week later, I started using the Ynmo application and using the Eight Hats Scale. Praise be to Allah, I felt as if I held the world in my hands because everything was clear before me, in administering the scale and saving the child's data,"

"and after that, I previously used to bring the assessment sheet during my training sessions and record the child's responses on it, which took up session time. But when I began using the Ynmo application to fill in session data, my sessions with my students became organized, clear, and very easy for me in terms of recording responses and determining the type of prompt provided,"

"What pleases me about Ynmo is the way of communicating with the child's family and sharing session details and the child's responses with them through the app. Previously, I used to share training clips with the family on one app and the child's responses via a tracking notebook, which took a lot of time,"

"and at the end of each month, I previously used to write a report for the family on the child's responses, whether they achieved the goal or not, and so on. This method also took a long time. After using Ynmo, life became enjoyable and simple, and at the end of almost every month, with the click of a button, I get the full report ready for the child's monthly plan, also including the responses, type of prompts, and more."

"My experience with Ynmo is wonderful, and it is truly difficult for me to write and explain how my life changed after using Ynmo."

"In conclusion, based on the principle that he who does not thank people does not thank Allah, I first offer my thanks to Ms. Abrar, who was the reason my life changed for the easier, after Allah, when she told me about Ynmo."

"A piece of advice for every educator of people of determination:"

"Allah has entrusted you with little ones who entered life not knowing how it proceeds normally, but Allah has made you the reason, after His guidance, to take their hand and their families' hands toward what helps them live in this life as normally as possible. So never underestimate their abilities. Failures during training may be numerous, but what matters is that you do not let experiences of failure affect the child; rather, encourage them, motivate them, and tell them that they are capable of achieving the highest level of success. We need to fail once to launch forward many times and show the world that we are capable and have potential, but we need discovery and patience."
