Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This post is a huge THANK YOU to all of you who have contributed to my trip! Because of all of you, I have been able to do the following in those communities:

1.) See about 40-50 disabled Zambian children and provide recommendations to their parents about what their disability is and how to work with it. 

2.) Provide an inservice to the teachers at the University special ed school on differentiating instruction to both higher and lower learners in each classroom. 

3.). Provide individualized instruction to teachers at the community schools for the disabled so that they provided instruction at the child's level and did not perpetuate learned helplessness. 

4.)  Saw two families on an individual basis who were very concerned for their child's health and learning and were unable to find speech therapy anywhere in the country. 

5.). Worked with graduate students and trained them in the evaluation process. 

6.). Participated in screening events in impoverished communities to assist parents in understanding their child's disability and reccommending an initial plan of treatment.
