Back to school series video #2. Tonight we are talking about the experiences you had as a kid and how that affected your trajectory (path) towards having a better life. Can we say the same about the experiences our kids are having? Share your thoughts.
Back to School Series: Using the trajectory part 1
This is the first video in our back to school series. Learn how taking the time NOW, while you are feeling positive and optomistic about this school year, to WRITE DOWN what you want this year to be. It is also important to take some time to write down whay you do NOT want this school year to be. Do this with your family and each of your kids. It will be very eye opening and your first step in making this the best school year EVER.
There are some link in the comments below to get you started today. All of these resources and more can be found at: https://www.lifecoursetools.com/learning-materials/
Have you ever wondered “what if?” Tonight I am sharing my latest thoughts on a paradigm shift I wish I had had.
One mom's paradigm shift
Here is an example of a paradigm shift one Mom took when it came to Extended School Year vs a summer job....
A Paradigm shift when it comes to the delivery of services. I lived through it, and it is the best thing that ever happened to me and my students. Download the graphic here: http://bit.ly/2SPpcbL
Paradigm Shift: a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions. As parents and caregivers for loved ones with special needs, we might be better than others at being able to embrace this concept. But, even we can get stuck in that rut of "that is just how it has always been done." Join the PA Family Network this month as we challenge others and ourselves to start thinking about things differently and challenge the norms that have likely held us and our loved ones back for years. Are you ready?
Relationships... Connections... Love is so important. When your family lives far away but are always home in your heart. Using technology to share great news with your Grandma! ❤️
Relationships and the Integrated Supports Star
The Integrated Supports and Service tool is yet another tool you have in your LifeCourse toolbox. This particular one is filled out for you based on the social and spirituality life domain. It will give you things to reflect upon and pull from when trying to build new and make stronger the relationships you son or daughter has. Download this cheat sheet here: http://bit.ly/2X296iy
So things have really changed a lot over the years when it comes to how our loved ones can interact and participate in our local communities. This is true for all the life domains, ever the social and spirituality domain that we are looking at this month. Have you thought of any other innovative ways to expand your relationships and the relationships of your loved one? Tell us about it in the comments below! You can download the handout I am talking about tonight here: http://bit.ly/2tiutOU

Using the trajectory with your loved one
Join us this week looking at what does and does not make a good relationship. Trust me, writing it down ON PAPER is an important first step to getting what your son or daughter really wants out of the relationships he/she currently has and is looking to have in the future. Here is the link to the worksheet so you can play along 😉 : http://bit.ly/2yUZLyC . Drop a comment below with one thing your son or daughter thinks is important to have in a healthy relationship.

Charting experiences on the trajectory
Welcome to Week 2 of Surviving the Holidays. This week it is all about experiences and reflection.
Join us this month as we talk about the holidays and how to use the Lifecourse tools to navigate this sometimes stressful time.
Join the Pennsylvania Family Network this week as we talk about gratitude. Such a critical part of a good life!!
Thanks for joining us again. This week we will still be focusing on the good life, but rather sharing and thinking about what we do want, we will share and talk about what we do NOT want in our lives, and WHY it is important to consider that. The trajectory you can fill out with us, will be in the comments below following this video.
Last week we started looking at what a good life means to you and your loved one with a disability. This week we will be doing the same but with a twist. I hope it will be reflective and meaningful to you as much as last week was. If you want to know more, you will have to tune in tomorrow at 8:00pm to learn more about our specific focus this week as it relates to A GOOD LIFE.
