FabuRocks was created and inspired by our daughter FABU to help her with speech delay, learning disabilities, and ADHD at home.
At the age of 4, FABU was diagnosed with speech delay and immediately started going to speech therapy twice a week. After 2 years and minimal improvements, FABU was in 1st grade and testing 3-grade levels below in speech and reading.
By 2nd grade, FABU showed ADHD and learning disabilities symptoms such as dyslexia and language processing issues. An IEP (Individualized Education Plan) was developed to help meet her needs and goals at school.
We decided to take matters into our own hands as we faced our biggest fear: FABU in 1st grade, with a considerable delay in communication, knowing that this could lead to or trigger further mental health issues later in life we wanted to avoid.
This led us to use gaming, unboxing videos, and live streaming as the main therapeutic tool that produced quicker and more significant improvement than we ever imagined.
Now that FABU is older, she is no longer embarrassed for us, as a family, to openly discuss the obstacles she faces daily. After seeing her significant improvement over the years, she now understands the importance of being verbal about her disabilities, what we do and how we do it to empower others like her.
Currently, FABU is in 6th grade and testing at grade level in reading and vocabulary and getting A’s and B’s in all her classes. She’s social, outspoken, frequently participates in class, and is passionate about Math and literature.
FABU’s accomplishments as a content creator are many, from being the youngest YouTube Gaming Partner at the age of 7 to currently being the Youngest FaceBook Gaming partner and sponsored by several of the biggest name brands in gaming such as Turtle Beach, ROCCAT, and G-Fuel.
She’s the founder and leader of the FabuArmy, a clan that empowers and supports young content creators like herself.
This is why we have decided to create a Podcast, and our goals are to educate parents, create awareness, and for FABU’s voice to be heard as we share our story, how we got here, and where we are headed. We will openly discuss our experiences, methods, techniques, what has worked, what has NOT worked, our frustrations, how we overcome our challenges, and our plans.
We invite you to join us on our daily journey via our YouTube channel, where we post a new video daily, our Twitter updates, our Instagram posts, our website event news, our Discord community, during our FaceBook Gaming live streams, and via our weekly Podcast.
