Products will include a video, guides for medical professionals, social workers and foster parents, training for foster parents in finding options for accessing medical care, and a health profile for children in foster care. This project is reaching out to Latino families who have children with disabilities in Arlington and surrounding areas. Funded by the Arlington Health Foundation, this project has inkind space at a Community Center in Arlington and is providing assistance and workshops for Latino families, workshops for programs interested in improving services to Latino families, and workshops for Latino service organizations who want more information about special education and health care for children with disabilities. A major part of the support has focused on Keys to Inclusion , an in-service training program for teams from local school districts to plan and support inclusion. The Transition Series are six workshops to help families prepare for a young person's transition from student life in school to adult life in the community.
Plans are underway to conduct training in Europe, the Pacific and stateside next year.
