  18. 1. CHANGING PERSPECTIVES: • What are your first thoughts about transition for your child/youth? • Thinking again from another point of view, how else can you describe this emotion, the fears, the anxieties, where are you confident or not? • What are the fear and anxieties that delay the start of transition. • How does looking at a different perspective promote movement forward.

  19. Candid Conversation Julie Sullivan • Some questions that HRTW professionals asked would have been ignored or I would have been insulted for being asked if asked to me by teachers, MD’s or other providers. Parents and speaking from personal experience, I felt it carried weight and was real. I took notice and considered how I can apply this to my daughter’s life. • (myself & our staff) We not only needed parents to ask those hard questions but we need to be held accountable and asked “did you?” We did this on follow up conf. calls. • We couldn’t ask other parents to do things if we weren’t doing it ourselves. In the process our parents leaders made copies of insurance cards, chore charts, and let their children order at McDonalds.

  24. Candid Conversation Trish Thomas It was hard to give up control-that was two fold. • Traditional cultural side I was expected to do this, I did not want interference or reprimand in front of my children to letting them take the lead in decisions that impacted their lives.  2)  My son was not ready to take on this responsibility,  I thought he was to shy and not pushy enough to get done what needed to get done or to follow through, with what was expected of him…but I had never given him the chance and when I did was I surprised!

  31. Candid Conversation Mallory Cyr 1.  Know when to ask for helpMy parents always supported me to try things on my own but they also helped me to learn to recognize when I had reached my breaking point and needed additional support and how to identify those key players. Over time I got better at this skill and could ask for help BEFORE I reached my breaking point. 2. Shoot for the stars/find a way.Growing up,  I was never taught to consider my physical challenges to be a limiting factor in anything I wanted to do. I always thought with unlimited dreaming and what I WANTED to do.  If it did end up being challenging we looked at ways to adapt or modify it or how I could do it, not what I should do instead.  I think because of that I continue to aspire to higher goals and have become more resourceful in finding solutions when I do meet a challenge...

  32. Candid Conversation Ceci Shapland • The smile is the reward what I learned when I let go little by little 2. What if you never got to make a mistake and start again? 3. You never really lose all the anxiety, but it gets a little easier each time. (Disneyland trip) Advice to providers: Do not say it cannot be done. That is not an option-creative problem solving works!!!

  33. Imagine the Possibilities….

  34. Candid Conversation Julie Sullivan • We need to find one thing we can do fairly immediate to feel as if we are working and making progress toward this goal. • We need to find one thing that our youth can implement fairly immediate so they too can have satisfaction in progressing toward independence.

  35. Candid Conversation Trish Thomas 1. Every family has a culture and beliefs. 2. We respect each other by honoring these. 3. Having the opportunity to try – your child will surprise you. It takes practice and skills.
