We need to see the enrollment process as the launch to a child's education, and a families first engagement with the system. Families have to be positioned as the expert on their child, and the enrollment process needs to include developmental screening to ensure that every child has access to any additional services they may need. Families need to be assigned one navigator that they can develop a relationship with. Someone that can help guide them through the process.]]> 2021-06-10 14:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/apaitraining/agiu5aujye3m8fmr/wish/1598752600 https://padlet.com/apaitraining/agiu5aujye3m8fmr/wish/1598754997 Listen to family's stories with genuine curiosty and compassion]]> 2021-06-10 14:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/apaitraining/agiu5aujye3m8fmr/wish/1598754997 https://padlet.com/apaitraining/agiu5aujye3m8fmr/wish/1598756463 We need to codify system-wide respect for other languages (to the point about not being able to be licensed if providers don't speak English).
