@JenFelvey thank you 😊

I learned that even though a disability comes with weaknesses, it also comes with strengths (main focus) #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

I learned that it's usually not the disability that limits an individual, it's society #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

@scc011 it definitely gave me a better understanding of the issues they face which helped me build empathy #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

@ZeldaBaker7 I can agree, I did not realize they have so many resources #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

I could possibly get the answer to this question by asking the client?? i'm not really sure #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

My question would be how do I try not to offend a client with a disability? I don't want to say/do the wrong thing #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

I found that I definitely enjoy Twitter more than discussion boards. I feel like there is better communication on here #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

This class has really expanded my knowledge on IWD and helped me identify my own biases that I was scared to face #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

One of my biggest takeaways is the power of social media, especially in knowledge and advocacy #4720reflect

[Emily Little @ebl435]

@baker_tanza yes, nobody is really independent. we will all have to depend on something at some point #4720life

[Emily Little @ebl435]

@SwKnauteca the social workers should have been playing closer attention, even though they shouldn't have taken the child anyway #4720life

[Emily Little @ebl435]

@SocialWork0203 it is!!! #4720life

Bob doesn't want to go a nursing home, but he could eventually be dependent and he can't recieve the care he needs at home #4720life

[Emily Little @ebl435]

Bob's case is intense. Intervention needs to be quick, but there is a lot of conflict #4720life

[Emily Little @ebl435]

self determination and empowerment are important when working with IWD #aginganddisability #4720life

[Emily Little @ebl435]

How many children have to be taken away from IWD before something is done about it? #4720life

[Emily Little @ebl435]

It's sad that they take away parental rights before they even give them the chance to prove themselves as competent #4720life

[Emily Little @ebl435]

The Johnson story shows how IWD can raise their children with the right tools (talking thermometer & braille puzzle pieces) #4720life

[Emily Little @ebl435]

LCA allows an IWD to get involved in transition planning and gives support to accommodate for the best outcome #4720life
