What's in a network?

3/29/2016

What’s in a network? I firmly believe everyone needs a group or system of interconnected people or things on the journey we call life. Over the years my husband and I have built a network of friends, co-workers, and social groups. I appreciate the insurmountable support we’ve received from our network in the Deafblind community, the parents and their children have been inspirational and willing to answer questions and share their experiences with us. 

When our daughter Savannah was much younger we struggled to find programs and services that were right for her. We had never heard of a dual sensor impairment and had a lot to learn. Having such an awesome network of parents, therapist, and educators willing to share experiences and help us navigate has allowed us to see the possibilities for Savannah. And watching some of your children at varying ages has helped us envision the types of things our daughter may be able to do.  

I just hope we can pay it forward and be an example to other families. Of course Savannah is still writing her story and no one knows what her “happier ever after” will be, but I’ll getting my popcorn ready because this is going to be good. 

Thank you all for being...
pioneers 
awesome parents. 
a blessing and example my family
and most of all a part of our network.
