I have never blogged before but I am looking forward to it!
I am currently a Homemaker with 4 children, 1 of which was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (mild) and Autism at the age of 2 and that is when My journey in Early Childhood Studies, Education, Intervention and Advocacy began. Although my degree is not in Education, the many years of caring for our son enabled me to learn how to care for him through research, trial and error. Those years how taught me how Vital it is to identify children at risk for Special Needs services early in their life and have seen the difference in my own son. Because I have been So blessed to be an at home Mom with our son, I am compelled to give back, so that other parents who share our journey may avoid some of the obstacles we encountered along the way. My goal is to reach as many Parents/Caregivers with this message...When a Parent/Caregiver Denies a NEED in their Child, they have become the Greatest Obstacle to that child reaching their fullest potential. Therefore, my new journey begins with my Masters in Early Childhood Studies, but that's just the Tip of the Iceberg!!
