Season 1 Recap
Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 11:18AM Season 1 Recap
I’ve been blogging for Parent to Parent for a year now, and thought I’d give newer readers a recap of what Raissa, Season 1, has been all about.
I have twins with autism. It takes up much time, effort, energy, and sanity on my part. Many of my blogs focus on how things fail and succeed in many everyday situations. I stay sane and sometimes ahead of the game using tools that Parent to Parent provides online, in person, and in the community. Consider using these tools.
- Supporting Parent program. Talking to another person who has been in my situation usually calms me down.
- Special Needs Database and Roadmap. It’s like having a directory of all things disability related in my community.
- Parent training. You may think you know it all about Education and Health related issues, but Parent to Parent Trainings always blow me away with their information. The speakers are great and the handouts that you get are remarkable.
- Navigator Team. Mine does parent support groups at a local Chick Fil A. What does yours do?
- The people at Parent to Parent. They treat each of my strange (and sometimes repeated) questions with dignity and grace, and I feel cared for anytime I make a call to them.
Season 2 is all about Me. I’m going to take you through my thoughts, responses, and actions dealing with having 2 with autism. We’re going from a dark place in my life to one filled with hope. The Season 2 Opener starts with my fascinating trip to visit my parents in the Philippines and the fallout that occurs. Stay tuned!
