“This training has opened my eyes so much... It’s important to build relationships with parents. When both parties (parents and teachers) have an understanding why it’s important to have a partnership, it helps the child in then end -- it helps the child become a well-rounded person. We will be able to come together and set goals for that child and come up with ways it can be accomplished at school and home. With patience we will be able to make a difference.”
