Practice Makes Progress

Practice makes progress with our families and with our students!  When can you seize those opportunities to practice?  How can you invite parents/caregivers to practice on visits?  I share a story about my son Sam who received Early Intervention services and a conversation I had with colleagues about this topic.  Parents/caregivers need practice as much as our students do. Both parents and children learn best when given the chance to practice in real time and real context.  I reflect on how to cross that bridge from talking about how to do something to actually putting the plan into action/practice!
