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.

Todos somos parte una comunidad de apoyo y atención. La fuerza de Abriendo Puertas es clave en crear esa red de apoyo.
