Reflection Week 7
Posted on March 3, 2008
I have really enjoyed reading the Consultation text. I feel it has helped me reflect on consultation and really looked at how my school delivers services. I have gained a new perspective on myself as a consultant. Reading this book has also given me hope that I could pass some of the ideas and skills to my colleagues. I think that it is kind of ironic that we are reading this text because I feel that especially this year I have been working a lot with outside consultants at work and in my personal life. At school I have been working with a consultant around two students on creating an alternative program to serve their needs. I have been also working with a consultant with concerns with my son and his learning needs. It has been an eye opening experience!

I agree with you completely that this course has made me think about how my school delivers services too! It is eye opening.

Rebecca,
The reading has been helpful in understanding the role of the consultant. It is interesting that you are having the experience as parent and are meeting with a consultant. That will give you an interesting perspective. I enjoy talking a coworker who has a son with autism. I have the chance to learn more about what it is like being a parent of a child with special needs and the parents interactions with educators.
