The last few years have been a time of great duress for every individual – be a child or a family – impacted by a worldwide pandemic, difficult economic times, fraught political climate. Many of these factors have caused anxiety and stress directly impacting health, relationships, learning process, and overall well-being. While we may not have control on these huge outside forces, we can facilitate strategies to remain on a path of safety and health.

Los últimos años han sido una época de gran presión para todas las personas, ya sean niños o familias, afectadas por una pandemia mundial, crisis económicas y un clima político tenso. Muchos de estos factores han causado ansiedad y estrés que afectan directamente la salud, las relaciones, el proceso de aprendizaje y el bienestar general.

As part of our AP/OD community of learners, families with Special Needs children are integral in our understanding of intentional development and the potential in learning opportunities. The session is also an opportunity for each of us to learn and understand how families are on a path of acceptance, understanding and participation as their child continues to growth and develop. During these early years of childhood, families and children involved in the AP/OD process can further gain a sense of strength and fortitude. They are part of the AP/OD community of support and care.   As AP/OD facilitators, you are key in creating that web of support.

Como parte de nuestra comunidad de Abriendo Puertas, las familias con niños/as con necesidades especiales son parte integral de nuestra comprensión del desarrollo intencional y el potencial en las oportunidades de aprendizaje. La sesión también es una oportunidad para que cada uno de nosotros aprenda y comprenda cómo las familias están en un camino de aceptación, comprensión y participación a medida que su hijo/a continúa creciendo y desarrollándose. Durante estos primeros años de la niñez, las familias y los niños/as involucrados en el proceso de Abriendo Puertas pueden adquirir aún más una sensación de fortaleza y confianza. Todos somos parte una comunidad de apoyo y atención. La fuerza de Abriendo Puertas es clave en crear esa red de apoyo.
