Welcome to 2023!! I don’t know about you, but the years seem to be passing by at warp speed. My grandparents always told me this would happen but I didn’t really believe them, guess lesson learned always trust your elders. So what is new for 2023? First off in 2022 I completed the Charted Special Needs Consultant certification. I am always looking to improve skills so that I can help families achieve their dreams. So following that same principle, this year I am working on becoming an ambassador for Charting the Lifecourse. This program falls directly into my beliefs and mission that all individuals have the right to define their dreams and chase them. Charting the Lifecourse provides person centered thinking tools to provide practical strategies for gathering meaningful information and facilitating conversations about goal setting, problem solving, and action planning. I look forward to learning more and sharing and using these tools to help families of all ages not only define their dreams, but be able to communicate their goals and plans to all stakeholders. In recent research, I discovered that the number one challenge for most families is conveying their goals/desires to professionals. Sadly. many parents have ideas about what they want for their child’s future, but get sidetracked by what professionals believe their child’s capabilities are. Therefore, I want to teach parents how to communicate effectively with professionals using the tools available in Charting the LifeCourse so that their child’s best life and dreams becomes the focus and driving force in planning meetings. It is never to early to utilize person centered thinking to plan and design the program that works best for your family and your child. In 2023 let’s work together to chase your family’s dream.
