🍽️ If your kid won't even sit at the table when there's new food on it, this is for you. 🫵🏽 I'm a dad. My son is autistic. For a long time, dinner felt like a battle nobody was winning. 💥 Then we found this. 👇 The 6 Steps to Eating. A sensory-friendly framework (the SOS Approach by Dr. Kay Toomey) that changed our whole routine.🤗 1️⃣ Tolerating. Being in the same room as the food. 2️⃣ Interacting. Helping prep, stir, pour. 3️⃣ Smelling. Leaning in close. 4️⃣ Touching. Fingertips, then lips, then tongue tip. 5️⃣ Tasting. Lick. Bite. Spit. Chew. Repeat. 6️⃣ Eating. The whole thing. You don't skip steps. You don't rush. You meet your kid where they are.🪜 The first time he chewed and swallowed something new on his own, I cried in the kitchen. Then I made him another one and pretended I was fine. 😅 This is Empowered Designed Learning at the dinner table. Every step intentional. Nothing accidental. 🤗 Save this for the next time you put something new on the plate. 💛 🎬 This video was made with @Google Flow Omni for the scenes, @Adobe Firefly for the visuals, and Adobe Express to bring it all together. Real workflow. Real dad. Real tools you can try too. What's the food your kiddo finally tried? Drop it below. 👇 #AutismParenting #PickyEater #SOSApproach #SpecialNeedsParenting #TheTechProfe #EmpoweredDesignedLearning #AdobeExpress #AdobeFirefly #GoogleFlow #AIforParents #SensoryFriendly #AutismDad #PadreLatino

Congrats to these amazing #Adobe Innovators Mentors🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Creativity AI can only remix what already exists. Humans reimagined what is possible. Creativity is seeing the possibilities that others can’t. Optimism Is a Skill, Not a Personality Type What is your BPS Best Possible Self ✅ Be curious.  ✅ Be creative.  ✅ Be brave.  ✅ Be yourself. ✅ Add something to this world that nobody else could add. ✨ We say this to our students every year. Then we walk into our own classrooms and play it safe. Here is the truth I keep coming back to after 30 years in education: ☑️ The lesson is the only one you could design. 👩🏽‍🎨 ☑️ The story only you could tell. 📓 ☑️ The energy only you could bring on a Monday morning. ⚡️ That is the thing your students actually need 🙌🏽 Not another copy of someone else's slide deck. 💻 Not another worksheet pulled from a search. 🔍 You. 🫵🏽 Your curiosity. 🧐 Your culture. 🧫 Your creative fingerprint. 🫆 Sé curioso. Sé creativo. Sé valiente. Sé tú. 🙌🏽 This week, bring one thing into your classroom that only you could bring. A song, a story, a question, a tool, a memory. Watch what happens. 👀 That is Empowered Designed Learning. And it starts with you. 💡 What is the one thing only you could bring this week? Drop it below. 👇🏽 #EmpoweredDesignedLearning #TheTechProfe #Teachers #EdTech #BilingualEd

Every child has a story to tell, but not every child tells it with words. I spent time today volunteering in my son’s class, and it reminded me that storytelling can take so many different shapes. Sometimes it is verbal. Sometimes it is painting, Play-Doh, performing, music, animation, or creating visuals with AI on a device. That matters to me, not only as a parent, but also as an educator. When we only give students one way to show what they know, we may miss the genius sitting right in front of us. A simple move for tomorrow: take one assignment and offer three ways students can tell the story. Say it. Build it. Draw it. Perform it. Animate it. Let the goal stay the same while the pathway changes. What is one modality you have seen bring out a student’s genius?

☔️April’s almost over, but there’s still time to post! ⏰ Stop the scroll with these 3 levels: • L1: Clean Split – Hard axis for a mirror effect. • L2: Overlap – Bleed elements for depth. • L3: Texture Blend – Mask edges to weave images. 👀 #AdobeEduCreative #RainbowTechSiren

Words aren’t the only way to tell your story — and students are PROVING it. 🔥 With @AdobeExpress story carousels, they’re combining photos, design layers, and narrative arcs into something genuinely powerful. A creative wrap-up activity worth seeing. End the year STRONG. Check it out 👇🏾 ➡️ adobe.ly/storycarousel #adobe #AdobeWrapped #AdobeEduCreative #creativewrapupn

What happens when the next generation of designers steps inside Adobe HQ? Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting students from the College of San Mateo Design program for an inside look at careers in design, and the future is looking bright. From product design and UX UI to creative technology and engineering, our Adobe panel pulled back the curtain on what it really means to be a designer today. 💡 Key takeaways * Design is more than visuals; it is problem-solving * Your portfolio should tell your story, not just show the final product * AI is changing the game, but creative intention and human insight matter more than ever. * And the skills that stand out are adaptability, communication, and curiosity Huge shoutout to these incredible students for bringing the energy, the questions, and the creativity. We cannot wait to see what you build next. 🚀 @Adobe @AdobeExpress @AdobeFirefly @TheTechProfe @annkozma723 @jlubinsky @ClaudioZavalaJr @weziRthindwa @MrsBongiornoEdu @LindseyBlassEdu @csmbulldogs #AdobeEduCreative #AdobeForEdu #AdobeEducation #AdobeStudents #Adobe #CollegeOfSanMateo #CSMDesign #FutureDesigners #AdobeLife #DesignCareers #UXDesign #ProductDesign #CreativeTechnology #GenAI #DesignThinking #StudentSuccess #BayAreaEducation
