Colin Farrell spent years protecting his son James’s privacy. But when James turned 21, Farrell began speaking publicly about a challenge many families face: support for people with intellectual disabilities can become much harder to access once they reach adulthood.

James has Angelman syndrome and is nonverbal, and Farrell acknowledged the difficult decision involved in sharing such a personal part of his son’s life. He ultimately chose to speak out because he wanted to advocate not only for James, but for other adults with intellectual disabilities and the families trying to support them.

That advocacy led to the creation of the Colin Farrell Foundation, focused on improving opportunities, resources, and long-term support for adults with intellectual disabilities.

“I want the world to be kind to James,” Farrell said. “I want the world to treat him with kindness and respect.”

It’s a simple hope, but one that points to a much bigger issue. Turning 21 shouldn’t mean suddenly losing the support, opportunities, and protections that helped someone throughout childhood.

Farrell is using his platform to bring attention to that gap—and to help build a future where people like James can continue to be supported, respected, and included throughout their adult lives.

... And, if you don't watch "Shrinking", definitely start doing that, too. 😉

A playground communication board is an outdoor visual tool that uses pictures, symbols, and words to support communication and help individuals express their needs, choices, thoughts, and feelings.💖

Does your school have one?
How about your local park?

Share your pics! 📸

Grateful to see more and more county and state parks featuring these wonderful communication tools!

👏👏👏

I was witness yesterday to a Mother trauma-dumping on her child at a public pool. My heart hurt observing/listening to this, as no child should be hearing the things about "the other" parent that were being shared - especially at the young age this child was.

Let's remember that, no matter how mature a child may seem - they deserve their childhood.

Children need honesty — but they also need protection.

There is a difference between being emotionally available to your child and emotionally unloading onto your child.

Kids are not meant to carry adult stress, adult conflict, adult secrets, or adult pain before their nervous system is ready to understand it.

They need to know:

💛 “The adults are handling this.”
💛 “You are safe.”
💛 “This is not your job to fix.”
💛 “You can be a child here.”

This doesn’t mean we pretend everything is perfect.

It means we share information in a way that is age-appropriate, regulated, and centered on their emotional safety — not our need to vent.

Children should not have to become the emotional support system for the adults in their life.

Protect their childhood.
Protect their nervous system.
Protect their sense of safety.
