An Alphabet of Helpful Hints: A
For new practitioners offering family-centred support to children with disabilities / special needs
Peter Limbrick
This will be a regular feature in IQJ. The alphabet will cover issues which have arisen repeatedly in my consultancy and training work over the last 12 years. The suggestions humbly offered here come from my experience as a sibling of a man with severe cerebral palsy, as a teacher of children with disabilities / special needs, and as a keyworker in the 1990s with families of neurologically-impaired babies and young children.
This issue: A is for Avoid Assumptions. A is for Anticipate. A is for Ask.
