For my last post, I decided to share the site http://www.goodjobbuddy.org/Good-Job-Buddy. Sarah L. is friends with this family and she suggested that I look at it. It is a wonderful site dedicated to their son Isaac who is diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Our focus this quarter has been on family-centered practice and developing an understanding and appreciation of the diverse needs that families possess. This site offers a family’s perspective and personal story. I was moved by what the family chronicles and found the site to be extremely informative. Everyone should take some time and visit the site as it exemplifies the importance of getting to know the families we will be working and collaborating with.

I have learned so much this quarter about appreciating families and their unique situations and how this increases the child’s opportunity to achieve success. I will refer to the many resources I discovered during my inquiry. I enjoyed reading many other blogs and found helpful information and resources that I will also utilize.
