Para-education and green living information

Barbara’s Got A LadyBug

Hi there….  How do you like the new look and theme?  I have been thinking for a while about how to integrate my day job ( Independent provider/job coach for an autistic client) into the blog. I got lucky and joined Whole-hog-blogs. It’s one of the better choices I’ve made, ladybug included.

You will be getting the same “green” type articles and information here, but also help and information in the area of disabilities (not just developmental) ones. I have devoted the last twenty years of my life to working with  the devlopmentally disabled population.  Most of that time was spent working in Special Education, within the school system. Now, I work independendantly through the state. I am my own contractor. The work, to me is not like work, just a slice out of my day. That is not to say that it doesn’t have it’s challenges.  For me, it is a very rewarding place to be in my life. It is my belief that if you take the “dis” out of a dissability and focus on the ability, you get better results. Most people in this population are more able than is often recognized. It also helps to have some fun and throw in some humor along the way. Come on back anytime, as we explore ways to work toward a better tomorrow.
