Child life specialist

This week in the field I had the opportunity to observe a CFTM. The CFTM consisted of a Southern Christian Service (SCS) Family Specialist, the potential foster parents and the MYPAC team (facilitator, therapist and supervisor). This meeting was geared towards revealing the diagnosis of the foster child to the potential foster parents.

Occasionally, life takes us through unexpected paths. When my son was a three years old, I began to notice that his development did not correspond to his age. My son could not trace straight lines in any direction; he also had difficulties with drawing and holding a crayon.
