Welcome! My name is Kate Ross. I am an author,  speech-language pathologist, and developmental educator. I love gardening, crafting, reading, hiking, and traveling. Dancing has always been an important pastime, including English Morris dancing, international folk dancing, and contra dancing. Singing is a passion, mostly within choral groups, since high school. Ever-present loves in my life are my husband and two daughters. Family strengthens me.

I’ve been lucky to have spoken to a Romanian princess; danced at the Scarborough Fayre; seen evidence of plate tectonics and walked on the earth’s mantle in Newfoundland; visited the Romanian building where my father was held prisoner in WWII; run my own business and taught young children; and advocated for people with disabilities. Ben and Jerry were scheduled to help me move once, but alas, they arrived too late. When I was little, I stood inside a HUGE wind tunnel at NASA, and as an adult, I saw a Blue Whale near the Gaspe Peninsula. Through the large and the small of it all, I am thankful for my life experiences.

I’ve learned quite a bit about brain tumors and injuries with so much more to be discovered yet. It is a long and difficult road caring for a person who has a brain tumor, injury, or other insult.

Patience and flexible thinking truly are caregiver virtues during recovery, which is ongoing and may last a lifetime. Never give up hope! Hope is what drives us forward in times of need
