And so it goes...

I am sorry again for the lack of blog posts. Things have been really busy lately with midterms, assignments and work.

I will say that I have very exciting opportunities arising! Over the summer, I have two practicums to complete: an AT practicum and a counseling practicum. I will complete the AT practicum here at work, but I am extremely excited about my counseling practicum.

I am going to be doing this at a local non-profit agency in Pittsburgh, working with the president of the agency. She already has a project for me and several other plans. This particular practicum is only 100 hours, but I am going to be there two days a week from 8-4:30, to soak up a wealth of information. I am particularly excited because I am extremely interested in advocacy and policymaking. The president has a lot of connections with politicians and within the disability community, so this is going to be a really great experience. I am hoping to may be even complete my 600 hour practicum next summer with the same agency.

I also wanted to share this article, which I think serves a great purpose in helping children understand disability being apart of life. I have seen the Easter Seals' curriculum and I really feel it is great! Check it out here - it's called Friends Who Care.
