Parents as Presenters: Workshop Participant Guide, 2004
Iowa Department of Education
This workshop was adapted from Enhanced Learning. The Center for Innovation in Special Education, out of Missouri, designed this curriculum to enhance pre-service and inservice training related to early intervention and early care and education by helping to ensure that students and trainees better understand the perspectives of families who have children with disabilities. This two-day workshop provides training for family members who are interested in sharing their experiences with community organizations and college classes for future early intervention professionals. This training provides information and experience to increase the comfort level of family members who tell their story. A variety of pointers and techniques are shared, and participants will have guided practice in sharing their story. Additionally, tips in accepting an invitation to speak and preparing a presentation are addressed.
