What the researcher did was to get everyone together and asked them to verbalize about and discuss the following topics: Familial and community strengths, family needs and challenges, support network and accommodations, and needed accommodations to promote family salubrity. What emerged from these focus groups was that there were five major categories that they were all commonly concerned about. They were noetic health, physical health care, inculcation, information and support accommodations, and community efforts.

The most direct and meaningful impact on children’s education and advancement of social competence comes from parents and families. Students work harder, excel more, show attitudes and behavior that is positive, and feel at ease in new settings. Educators must connect to families so that they may develop relationships that employ them as active partners in their children’s learning

Prior to enrolling in American Families at The University of Mount Union, I had a predisposition to what I perceived a perfect family looked like. I envisioned a nuclear family with parents who are madly in love and children who thrive from tremendous emotional support. After weeks of studying the topic of American families more in depth in and outside of the classroom, my perception has changed. I have learned the important concept that every family is a unique, diverse unit. The service-learning project provided me with the opportunity to apply many topics discussed in class, such as family structure, communication patterns, and the Symbolic Interaction Theory to a real American family.

“Students articulate the complex characteristics of children’s families and communities and use this understanding to create respectful, reciprocal relationships that support and empower families, and to engage all families in their children’s development and learning.”

When planning for the future the student’s personal goals should be kept in mind. Doing so allows teachers to establish person centered planning to be the most effective for the student. Person centered planning encourages self-determination because the student is motivated to accomplish his/her goals. Peer relationships are a very important part of life. It is important that we as special educators keep all of these factors in mind when planning lessons for students with severe disabilities.

Communication is essential in healthy families, and members can share any issues in their lives including their challenges, successes, goals, and feelings openly. These family systems are characterized by meaningful and positive communication (Enrique, Howk, & Huit, 2007). There is genuine care for one another among family members, and constructive criticism is encouraged. Members are committed to family, spend significant time together, and continually appreciate each other. Each of the members of the family making up the system is valued, and teamwork is encouraged. Another factor that distinguishes systems of family that is healthy is the ease with which such families can adapt to changes in situations in the family setting. Family members are flexible to adjust to different circumstances. Connection with other people in the society is another distinguishing factor of healthy family systems. They have excellent relationships with other

A Transition Resource Team can serve its community by consolidating transition efforts, increasing transition expertise, and providing transition education. Teams can promote activities, customise services, institutionalise programming and enhance public relations (Schaetti, 1998). It can also give families the opportunity to establish links with other families in the school before their arrival, particularly those of the same nationality or who speak the same language.

With this understanding, I will serve as a community leader and advocate for equity-centered issues that are relevant to the community. A vital step in this process is understanding the space we are in and what assets are offered. The geographical boundaries that we share should not divide or limit what we can achieve. Another necessary component is building relationships and forming coalitions to address community-wide concerns. Achieving this requires spending time conducting home visits, speaking at community events, and devoting time conversing and bonding with community stakeholders. Through a leadership of service, we can connect with families and unite with local institutions (places of worship, small businesses, community centers,

The overall theme of the conference was transition from school to life after school. Some of the key points of the conference were: individualized transition plans; use assessments to meet the needs of students; areas of strengths and needs; self-advocacy; and subminimum wage. The individualized transition plan need to be data driven using assessment and observation. The plan needs to reflect the student’s strengths and needs and build into a life the student would like for themselves after secondary education. The student needs to be taught what their needs are and how their needs can be meant in order for the student to advocate for themselves. Subminimum wage is not going away. It will continue to be in place for individuals with disabilities
