I am writing about this service because I believe that Claudia and her organization can be of assistance to parents and families with young children with special needs. As most parents know, having children with average needs is a major undertaking. Having a child who may have special needs is a daunting task for the entire family, especially if they are feeling that they don't know where to turn. Claudia is the Family Outreach Coordinator for the Winston Prouty Center for our area. If Claudia isn't able to help you, I'm sure she can refer you to someone who can be supportive of your family's needs.
Life is always full of surprises.
Mrs. Van Pamelen told me that she would be going into the hospital for surgery. She has talked with her students and sent letters home to the parents. Because of the nature of the surgery, Mrs. Van Pamelen will be absent for the remainder of the school year. I am in the process of finding a substitute to complete the remainder of the year for Mrs. Van Pamelen. During my four years here, the children of Mrs. Van Pamelen's class have been able to count on her for support and excellent teaching.
