Pedagogical Statement

​

I feel that all children deserve the best supports and services and should have them made available to them. Every child is different and is entitled to a plan that is tailored to them by an educated Resource Consultant. Someone who understands their needs and works with them towards their goals. offering support not only to the child but to their

families as well.

 

 

Career Goals

 

I want to be a Resource Consultant. I have experience with children and adults with special needs and moving into this new position is the next step in my journey of being able to help families and children with special needs. I put a strong importance on the family as a unit. It is not just the one child we are supporting. We are here to communicate what is working and what could be better and the different goals for their homes/schools. It brings me joy to connect and be able to offer my support to the families at my center. Starting out in the group home with a generation of adults who grew up with parents that did not have services available to them, who may have isolated themselves because they felt shame and overwhelmed or isolated by a community who didn’t understand. I am humbled to be part of this community where parents are involved and work as a collaborative team. I am glad to be here to be able to work with these families and become a member of their team.
