Postcards from Portland, Day IV

The morning began with presentations by family members including a parent-run group in Australia, a parent advocate from New Jersey and a group from Pennsylvania requiring their county to use ELP. The afternoon will be a "Learning Marketplace"

A presenter from the UK mentioned an interesting sounding book called The Keys to Citizenship by Simon Duffy.

Insight of the day: It's important to ask all the participants (including the professionals) before an ELP meeting what needs to accomplished for them to feel the meeting has been successful.- Ruth Gorman.(UK)

Special Bonus Insight: British people have many different ways of talking funny. -Your correspondent.

Would you care to elaborate on that last statement? I am just curious :)

Haha, Minka. There were people from several different parts of England presenting and they all had different accents. That's all I meant. Really. Turns out, they don't all speak the queen's English like East German Icelandic women do.
