Los últimos años han sido una época de gran presión para todas las personas, ya sean niños o familias, afectadas por una pandemia mundial, crisis económicas y un clima político tenso. Muchos de estos factores han causado ansiedad y estrés que afectan directamente la salud, las relaciones, el proceso de aprendizaje y el bienestar general. Al saber que no tengamos control sobre estas enormes fuerzas externas, podemos facilitar estrategias para permanecer en el camino de la seguridad y la salud. Para los facilitadores de AP/OD, la sesión proporcionará ideas y ruta de estrategias prácticas a medida que avanzamos de manera positiva e individual.

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.

Como parte de nuestra comunidad de Abriendo Puertas, las familias con niños/as con necesidades especiales son parte integral de nuestra comprensión del desarrollo intencional y el potencial en las oportunidades de aprendizaje.

Durante estos primeros años de la niñez, las familias y los niños/as involucrados en el proceso de Abriendo Puertas pueden adquirir aún más una sensación de fortaleza y confianza. Todos somos parte una comunidad de apoyo y atención. La fuerza de Abriendo Puertas es clave en crear esa red de apoyo.
