Sibling Support Programs seek to provide brothers and sisters of children with special needs opportunities for peer support and education. Circle of Friends facilitates friendships between special needs children and age appropriate typically developing children. It calls for both the family and children to realize people with disabilities can and do enrish the lives of individuals without disabilities. Teaching and Learning at Home encourages families to look at all interaction with their children as an opportunity to teach. A disability, no matter how sever, does not stop a child or adult from learning.
Life is a continuous learning experience.
We emphasize that each child will learn in different ways and at different speeds. The task needs to be broken down to the level where the child can learn. Roles of Parents. This is life long. When we become parents we accept the roles of nurturer, caretaker, role model, teacher, service coordinator, monitor of services and advocate.
