I wondered how many times I have said I was "sorry" to hear about a child's diagnosis, when I thought I was being empathetic. I also liked the insight on active listening and asking open ended questions, as a E.I. provider it is easy to get self-absorbed in the child and not focus on how the parent is feeling.

This article was about my life. It was helpful to see a lot of things written out because it seems like a jumble of emotions and education and questions and the lack of support is astounding. That is the thing that my husband and I are so shocked by is that there truly is no support on a regular basis. No family nearby are interested in contributing to the lives of our kids and most other families don't know what to do or see us as too inconvenient for them to be bothered with us. Sad.

This was a sobering course. It made me think a lot more about elements that Im not sure I volitionally considered often, taking on and considering perspectives that i wouldn't have known on my own. I really appreciated the volume of input and insights from actual parents that were included. I think it shows the need for such perspectives to be considered-- especially but not limited to clinical caregivers.

Much of the presentation was a review, although it was very helpful to get the information on what to say other than, "I'm sorry to hear that," when a parent, or anyone, gives you information of a diagnosis or challenge/trial regarding their child(ren) or situation. I really appreciated that info and perspective. Thank you!

I think as therapy providers, we are aware of the parents experiencing some of the 5 steps of grief, but it's helpful to really be provided with examples. I think it will help me be a more compassionate and hopefully a more helpful SLP.

This topic is very relevant to me as a public school preschool SLP working with ages 3-5 in an "all-preschool" building. Many parents suspect or have recently received an Autism diagnosis for their child and feelings can be raw. Parents are looking for support and someone to listen. Understanding the stages of grief can help providers not take parent reactions personally, and continue to be ready to provide information when the parent is ready.

This is such an important topic and aspect to what we do as providers. I appreciated the thoughts and ideas shared in this training and especially the inclusion of parental quotes to shed insight on the personal and delicate experiences they go through on a daily basis. Remembering to be human and curious in our conversations with families is something I want to put into practice in a more intentional way as a professional.
