First Steps Parents Speak to Service Coordinators About Transition

Transition within and out of First Steps can be a very stressful time for families. Service Coordinators and providers play a very important role in linking families with appropriate resources and services beyond First Steps. On Wednesday, February 26, four parents of children who have recently transitioned from First Steps came to speak with First Steps Coordinators about their experiences.

Christine, Jonna, Heather, and LaCesha graciously agreed to spend time helping Service Coordinators understand what they found helpful during their time in First Steps, especially pertaining to transition. They shared their own stories and suggested ideas to help current and future families navigate through First Steps transition.

We are thankful that they were able to join us and look forward to further conversations about ways to incorporate more parent perspective in our daily practice!
