THE PARENT AND PROFESSIONAL PARTNERSHIP

BY PAMELA AASEN

The strategies emphasized by the professionals who have worked with my family have been invaluable in guiding my husband and me in our efforts to support our children. It wasn't just the time spent in offices and therapy rooms, it was the expertise they imparted to further develop our children's skills so we could put what we learned into practice when we were on our own. Their voices are in our hearts and will be with all of us for life as new challenges present themselves.
