Learning to Listen
Learning to Listen
It started with a parent journal… Is it possible that we, as providers of therapeutic services, become too busy to listen? The answer is a resounding yes. Born of a genuine desire to provide effective services for the children and families we serve, true listening becomes imperative. The information and experiences described in this material is intended to encourage professionals to embrace the simple truth that learning to listen results in listening to learn. You will never regret the effort you put forth in listening to learn. Start now.
Dr. Rossetti's parent journal has been by his side during his career. He has compiled his experiences and is sharing them with us. How lucky we are! This book is a wonderful book club read for providers servicing families of disabled children. It includes discussion questions for group work and reflection. This is a fabulous resource to encourage multi-disciplinary work and support across all settings.
