Professional Development

Hello out there!

Hope everyone is doing well! This is just a quick note to tell you about the great workshop that Astonished! Executive Director Bonnie Cummings-Vickaryous and Program Developer Ella McIntyre were able to attend yesterday. This workshop was called "Finding Value Within My Day" and was lead by Cara Milne of M-Powered Planning. It was held in Saskatoon and the weather gods gave Bonnie and Ella great roads to make the highway journey from Regina. Thanks, weather gods!
Cara gave us lots to think about and lots to be encouraged about. She gave clear and thoughtful instructions and tips on how to support people with disabilities in having a value-filled day. We at the A!TLC always feel like there is great value in the days that we spend together and it was nice to be reminded of this, and to have a new crop of ideas to pull from.
Grateful for yesterday's learning opportunity, Bonnie and Ella are back in Regina now and are excited and ready to have an excellent afternoon at the A!TLC.  We will all be at the University of Regina today (during finals week...you can practically hear a pin drop!) but are planning a few field trips for the next few sessions. Happy (and Astonishing!) days!
