This morning I was on Pinterest and I came across this video! I am so impressed with this teacher! Love her style and how engaged her kids are in class!
One of my 2013 New Year Resolutions is to make a home program for each of my patient's that I see at my Outpatient Rehabilitation location. I thought it may be nice to share what I do! Here is an example of an at home programs for one of my itty-bitty kids. I usually make two folders one of the parent and one for the child. Now at this age (1-3) the child doesn't typically utilize the folder but the child folder is more activity based and the parent folder contains more education. I bought these folders at Walmart for 10 cents each, not a bad deal. Then on the front I just write Parent Guide or the child's name.

One of my favorite activities outside of work is working with my Girl Scout Troop for girls with special needs! These girls are amazing and I learn so much from them at each troop meeting.

What are some of your success stories? References Images For Girl Scout Law Printable. (n.d.). Retrieved February 24, 2015, from http://imgkid.com/girl-scout-law-printable.shtml
