Jeryl- I really liked reading your post on independent living. You incorporated some different aspects of being independent which is key. My favorite link you posted was the Disability Scoop one. That website is actually extremely interesting no matter what facet of the profession you're in. I can read that and keep up on what's going on in the world of disabilities, so thank you! That website will definitely come in handy to me, but I will also forward that information to the families I work with.
